A victory for West Brom later that afternoon meant the writing was all but on the wall for Gary Rowett’s side.Saturday’s results mean that in order for Leicester to avoid the drop, they’d need to win all of their last three games (something they haven’t managed to do all year) and hope that both Blackburn, Charlton and West Brom fail to gain a single point in their remaining fixtures, given how both West Brom and 22nd placed Oxford both have to play bottom side Sheffield Wednesday in their remaining games, that is looking like a tall order to say the least.With all of the eyes being on Leicester and what this game could mean for them, it can be easy to forget that tonight’s game is a huge chance for Hull City to realise their play-off potential. A win over the Foxes could put Hull just a point behind fifth-placed Middlesbrough and five points ahead of Wrexham in seventh.

Sergej Jankovic’s side have been nothing but consistent this season and have flirted with the play-offs relentlessly.However, their form has taken a slight dip in recent weeks, with just one win in their last five games, which has spoiled what could have been lots of chances to really cement themselves in the top six; however, thanks to their consistency, they are still in a healthy position. A 1-1 draw with Birmingham last time out will have been disappointing, but they have the chance to make up for dropped points away from home, where they are particularly strong.Leicester have been relatively injury-free throughout the season, which makes the situation they’re in that much more baffling.

Midfielder Jordan James won the EFL young player of the season award yesterday, which shows just how impactful he’s been on a sinking ship. The Welshman is expected to return to the fold after making his first cameo in weeks against Portsmouth.They are without centre-half Ben Nelson and Caleb Okoli, who have been missing for the past month through hamstring and knee issues, respectively. Full-back Victor Kristensen is also out; his signing has been uninspired at best since he arrived during the side’s last Premier League outing last season.Hull City are without a multitude of players, which may explain their poor run of form, midfield veteran John Lundstrum is still missing alongside full-backs Cody Drameh and Ryan Giles, who have been key to the Tigers throughout the season.

A damaging injury for Hull has been the absence of midfielder Regan Slater, who has been out for over a month with a calf issue. Slater has been massive for Hull this season, and his absence has been hugely felt.Elsewhere, for Hull, winger David Akintola is still out from a hamstring injury, which has hampered Hull in the wider areas up front.As for Hull, they have the chance to wrestle back from their poor form and really re-establish themselves in the Play-off picture, which will be a massive incentive for Jankovic’s side heading into this fixture.
