Hull City will play host to Preston North End in an EFL Championship fixture at MKM Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a comprehensive 2-0 win away to Birmingham City in the mid-week, while the Lilywhites played out a 2-2 draw against Southampton. The victory helped the Tigers to move to eighth spot in the English second tier standings, having collected 20 points from 13 league games, while the visitors are sitting at the fourth position, with 22 points to their name, nine points adrift of second-placed Ipswich Town, who have a game in hand.

Hull secured all three points against Birmingham on Wednesday night thanks to Liam Delap’s 12th-minute opener and Jaden Philogene’s effort 16 minutes from time. The result ended their four game winless streak in the second tier. After collecting 15 points from their first eight league games, Liam Rosenior’s side went into the international break on the back of two draws and a defeat and suffered another loss on their return to action last weekend. Meanwhile, the Tigers’ home form could be a sign of worry for Rosenior, as they are without a victory in their last five Championship matches at MKM Stadium, taking four points in that period. Their last success in front of their own supporters came way back in August against newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday. Neverthess, Hull are just two points adrift of third-placed Leeds United and a victory on Saturday could help them propel into the top three, depending on the other results.
Preston, on the other hand, will be bidding to end their six game winless run when they travel to Kingston on the weekend. Sine the 2-1 win over Birmingham on September 20, the Lilywhites have taken just three points from their last six outings. Ryan Lowe’s side shared the spoils against Southampton on Wednesday night despite taking a 2-1 lead thanks to second-half efforts from Milutin Osmajic and Brad Potts. Ched Evans’ 96th-minute own goal handed a third league-draw of the campaign to the Invincibles. Left wounded by the late disappointment, Preston will now be desperate to bounce back with a third away win of the campaign on Saturday.
Hull City probable starting lineup: Allsop, Coyle, Jones, McLoughlin, Greaves, Seri, Morton, Philogene, Delap, Traore, Connolly
Preston North End probable starting lineup: Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Cunningham, Potts, Browne, Whiteman, Millar, Frokjaer-Jensen, Osmajic, Holmes
