Hull City have got that all important winning momentum behind them which will be put to the test when they make the trip to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City (Leicester Evs, draw 12/5, Hull 11/4 Match Betting) on Sunday.
The Tigers have enjoyed their best start to a season in 19 years under manager Steve Bruce, who has seen his side win their last three outing in the Championship.
A 3-2 victory over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United at Elland Road in midweek will have given the squad plenty of confidence, for what will be a difficult trip to the East Midlands against another promotion contender.
Hull have shown plenty of resilience in the league this term and their three recent wins saw the side come back after going behind to claim the victories in two of the encounters.
If Bruce’s side go behind at the King Power Stadium, don’t rule out the Tigers still getting something out of the game, as they look to strengthen their position in the top six (28/1 Leicester HT/ Hull FT).
Hull are still without the likes of Matty Fryatt, Jack Hobbs and Tom Cairney through injury but so far they have been able to fill the void left by the trio.
In better news for Bruce, he has been able to welcome back Paul McKenna into the fold and the influential midfielder will be able to add plenty experience in the middle of the park to contrast with the likes of Robert Koren.
Jay Simpson was largely quiet against Leeds but he is a threat at Championship level and Leicester will have to keep an eye out for the striker, who has bagged three goals this season.
As for the Foxes manager Nigel Pearson he will be determined to get one over on his former employers who he joined in June 2010 before returning to Leicester just over a year later.
The home side will be pleased to welcome back playmaker and talented goalscorer Andy King who has been out of action with a hamstring injury but will return for Sunday’s encounter.
Leicester themselves are on a decent run at the moment, having secured wins over both Wolves and Burnley in their last two outings.
Looking at both sides, this game should certainly have goals in it, as Hull have only failed to score once against the Foxes in their last 18 league meetings.
With King returning and the likes of Jamie Vardy and Ben Marshall at their disposal, Leicester have the ability to score goals and backed by their home crowd they will be a tough proposition.
However, Hull have looked very impressive in recent weeks and Bruce and his men may well be heading back to Yorkshire with all three points on Sunday evening (11/1 Hull 2-1 win – correct score).
