Hull City will host Coventry City at MKM Stadium on Monday in the 42nd round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be desperate to get a vital result next week to avoid falling into the relegation places with only five games to go.
Hull failed to pick up any points when they traveled to Watford last weekend, losing 1-0 to mark their 19th defeat of the season and leave them only two points clear of the drop zone. The hosts have managed to avoid defeat in seven of their last 10 league games but are still far from safe and will be keen to be at their best in the final weeks of the season to ensure they stay up.
