The hosts, in contrast, are currently unbeaten in each of their last six games and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Prior to that, the Blades were on a four-game winning run, scoring eight goals and keeping three clean sheets in that time.

The Tigers have now lost each of their last three outings, conceding five and scoring just once since January’s 2-0 win over Swansea City.
With 32 points from 31 games, Hull City are currently 19th on the log, level on points with 20th-placed Cardiff City.
