    Hull City travel to Watford in the Championship on Tuesday evening in the latest match in their battle to avoid relegation to League One.
    The visitors are currently 19th in the table and they are just three points clear of the drop zone with six games remaining.

    Hull secured a precious three points at the weekend as they beat Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough
    The Tigers stole the win late on, as Charlie Hughes scored the only goal of the game in the dying moments to help improve their chances of survival in the Championship.
    Hull have hit a good run of form at the right time of the season, as they have lost only once in their last six games, which is a significant reason why they are currently sitting outside the relegation zone.

    11 wins at Vicarage Road compared to just four away victories. Some of those home wins were scrappy affairs, and we have struggled against teams fighting to avoid the drop.
    Defeat at the weekend meant that Tom Cleverley's side have won just once in their last six matches, and the Hornets have only netted three times during this poor run.

    The last two meetings between the Hornets and the Tigers have ended in a draw, with the two sides last playing each other back in December, in Hull's first match under head coach Ruben Selles.

    Team News

    No Baah of course, and two players who may not feature against the Tigers are Giorgi Chakvetadze and Yasser Larouci.

    Wish everyone well and hopefully the Golden Boys put in a performance and get points but I fear we will slip up against a Tigers side who need points and actually got a decent away record .

    I have seem this said a few times .

    “Please drop Bayo and play two upfront”

    Can you spot the flaw in the argument

    Unless they mean play Kayembe or Ince up there again .

    Not sure there is anyone else with Baah, Georgi injured and and the youngsters won’t play due to their game on Thursday

    I must have seen the situation so often over the years, when the season just meanders to an uneventful close. It is different for TC I suspect, as he still has something to prove.
