City -Vs- Burnley

Hull City welcome Burnley to the KC Stadium tonight for the latest crucial Championship clash.

Nigel Pearson`s men will be looking to avenge a 4-0 away defeat at Turf Moor by moving above Burnley in the table with victory tonight, while keeping alive hopes of forcing their way into the Championship`s top six.

Victory over Nottingham Forest at the weekend should have given the fans and team hope and optimism of a strong finish to the season, but Saturday`s win would be insignificant if not followed up with a home victory tonight.
