Coventry -Vs- City

Hull City face Coventry City tomorrow looking to get their late play-off push back on track.

Defeat to Burnley on Tuesday night, coupled with a loss at home to Cardiff has left City`s hopes of an immediate return to the Premier League hanging by a thread.

Nigel Pearson`s men have however found solace away from the KC, with another game undefeated against Coventry setting a new club record for league matches undefeated.

The 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest equalled the long standing club record while ending Forest`s 36 game unbeaten home run, and Pearson will be looking to make history with an important victory tomorrow.
