The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Hull City and Coventry City lock horns at the MKM Stadium on Friday.
The Tigers head into the weekend unbeaten in their last three games against the visitors and will look to extend this fine run.
Hull City maintained their fine run of results as they picked up a 1-0 victory away to a rampant Leicester City side in their last outing before the international break.
Liam Rosenior’s side have now won all but one of their last four matches, with a 1-1 draw against Bristol City on August 25 being the exception.
With 10 points from their first five Championship games this season, Hull are currently sixth in the table, level on points with Norwich City and Southampton.
Elsewhere, Coventry City turned in a superb show of fighting spirits as they came from behind on three occasions to salvage a pulsating 3-3 draw with Watford last time out.
However, with that result, Mark Robins’ men have now played out three consecutive draws since claiming a 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough on August 12.
Coventry City are currently 14th in the EFL Championship table, having picked up six points from their opening five matches this season.
