Preview: Leicester City -Vs- Hull City

Hull City travel to face former manager Nigel Pearson at Leicester City tomorrow afternoon, knowing that a win will elevate The Tigers into the automatic promotion spots, even if for just 24 hours.

Steve Bruce`s side will travel to the King Power Stadium with confidence having recorded three consecutive games, including a memorable victory at Elland Road over Leeds United as City picked up their first three point haul on the road. They will look to build upon that against a side who have picked up maximum points from home so far this season, most recently coming from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Hull City are expected to be without Seyi Olofinjana, although Paul McKenna could return to the bench after serving a three game suspension in place of Jamie Devitt. Robret Koren has a slight thigh strain but is expected to start at Leicester.

The home side welcome back Andy King and Zak Whitbread, meaning Pearson has a full strength squad to select from against his former employers.

Last season, both teams recorded 2-1 home victories. The corresponding match last season saw City take the lead through Matty Fryatt, only for Leicester to strike back twice in the first-half to take maximum points.
