"Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across England's second-tier, the mood in Sergej Jakirovic's camp should be at a red-hot high. Marking their return from October's international break with a sensational 3-2 victory away at Birmingham the Yorkshire-based outfit have secured consecutive Championship wins for the first time since opening up the new campaign. In fact, heading into October's fortnight interval with a 1-0 win against Sheffield United, Hull have registered seven points from their last three outings."
"As for the visitors, while Leicester might have entered October's international break with a much-welcomed 3-1 victory away at Swansea, the Foxes have failed to find any real fluidity since making their Championship return this season. Although Marti Cifuentes' camp might open Tuesday's trip to Yorkshire knowing that they can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots, the former QPR boss has remarkably seen his squad muster just a single win from any of their previous six consecutive outings."
Hull have improved significantly since narrowly avoiding relegation last season and have earned plaudits for their performances under Sergej Jakirovic. Hull secured consecutive Championship wins by beating Birmingham 3-2 and held a 1-0 victory against Sheffield United, registering seven points from their last three matches and losing only one of their last six Championship fixtures. Leicester arrived after a 3-1 win at Swansea but have shown inconsistent form, registering only one win in six outings under Marti Cifuentes. Leicester drew 1-1 with Portsmouth on their return from the international break and can move within touching distance of automatic promotion with a victory.
