Hull City have lost only one of their last six outings in the second tier, while recording four wins and keeping three clean sheets in the process. The Tigers secured all three points against Rotherham last time out thanks to Jaden Philogene’s brace and one goal each from Tyler Morton and Scott Twine. Losing just four of their 18 fixtures in the second tier is an impressive static, but the Tigers will be more satisfied with the eight league wins that have come their way. Meanwhile, Rosenior’s side have also scored in their last 11 fixtures in the second tier.
Watford, on the other hand, came from behind to get the better of Norwich in a five-goal thriller on Tuesday night thanks to first-half efforts from Ismael Kone and Mileta Rajovic, and Yaser Asprilla’s 77th-minute winner. It was Valerin Ismael’s side’s sixth Championship victory of the campaign, while four of those triumphs have come from their last six outings. More notably, the Hornets have taken 15 points from eight games, their only defeat during that time came against leaders Leicester City. Meanwhile, their away form is an issue, having won just one of their eight games on the road.
Hull City probable starting lineup: Allsop, Christie, Jones, Greaves, Coyle, Seri, Morton, Lokilo, Twine, Philogene, Delap
Watford probable starting lineup: Hamer, Andrews, Porteous, Hoedt, Lewis, Kayembe, Livermore, Kone, Asprilla, Rajovic, Sema
