Bottom dwellers Hull City host Watford at the MKM Stadium on Wednesday for their clash in the EFL Championship, looking to end their six-game losing run. With only 15 points in the bag from 19 league games, the Tigers are rooted to the foot of the table, staring at a likely relegation at this rate.
They've won only thrice all season - all coming in a row on matchday six, seven, and eight as Hull appeared to have overturned their early struggles. But since then, it's gone downhill again, going the next 11 without a single victory, while losing eight times during this run.
On the other hand, Watford are up in seventh with 30 points from 18 games. After their encounter with Cardiff City got postponed, the Hornets have had 10 days to prepare for this one.

They will be looking to return to winning ways after being held by Queens Park Rangers last time out. The sides played out a 0-0 stalemate in Watford, the second time that Tom Cleverley's side have drawn in three games.
