Managerless Hull head into their home clash against Blackburn seeking to avoid a sixth successive defeat - something they have not experienced since the end of the 2019/20 season, when they were relegated from the Championship.
The Tigers, who sacked Tim Walter just over a week ago, have gleaned just three points from their last 10 games but could climb out of the bottom three with a much-needed victory.
However, they face a Rovers side who cross the Pennines in good form after winning three games in a row, including victories over promotion contenders Middlesbrough and Leeds - and could climb into the top six themselves with another three points at the MKM Stadium.
