Leicester City Vs Hull City Preview, EFL Championship: Head-To-Head, Lineups, Live Streaming – All You Need To Know

Leicester City will be fighting to save their EFL Championship status when they host Hull City at the King Power Stadium for a Matchday 44 fixture on Tuesday. Ten years on from their incredible title win in the English Premier League, the Foxes are staring at relegation to the third tier, with only a victory keeping them afloat.

Leicester are currently in 23rd place in the Championship standings with 41 points, after being handed a six-point deduction. They are eight points adrift of safety with three games remaining, meaning they need to win all of them to have a shot at avoiding back-to-back relegations and a return to League One for the first time since 2009.

The Foxes suffered a 1-0 loss away to Portsmouth in their last outing, marking their second consecutive defeat in the league. They remain winless in their last six outings, which makes survival a tough task. They have had three head coaches this season – Marti Cifuentes, Andy King and now Gary Rowett – but none of them have been able to get a tune out of the squad.

Hull City, meanwhile, are sixth in the standings with 69 points. A 1-1 draw with Birmingham City in their last match extended their winless run to four games, but they have lost just once in their last five outings.

However, with Wrexham breathing down their necks, Sergej Jakirovic’s men will need all three points to maintain their top-six status. The Tigers can open up a five-point gap over Wrexham with a win tonight.
