Hull City have already experienced an eventful campaign in the Championship, having made a positive start under Shota Arveladze before the manager was sacked with four straight defeats leaving them on 11 points from 10 games.
Andy Dawson has taken charge of the Tigers since Arveladze’s dismissal, and they have quickly improved their form, initially bouncing back from a 2-0 defeat
to Luton Town in his first game in charge with a win over Wigan Athletic, only to lose their next two outings against Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City.
Appearing to be struggling under the caretaker, Hull would then return to winning ways away at Blackpool, as Ryan Longman, Greg Docherty and Regan Slater all got on the scoresheet at Bloomfield Road, before the Tigers prevailed again against Rotherham United last weekend.
Hoping to make it two victories on the bounce, Jacob Greaves put them ahead at the New York Stadium, and after Dan Barlaser equalised on the stroke of half time, Cyrus Christie would renew
his side’s lead and Longman and Ozan Tufanwould also find the net to ensure Georgie Kelly’s late goal for the hosts was inconsequential in an eventual 4-2 triumph.
With Dawson keen to strengthen his claim for the permanent post and the Tigers having quickly climbed to 16th spot with a three-point cushion over the bottom three, they will aim to keep building momentum with another victory at the weekend but face one of their toughest tests yet.
Blackburn Rovers will travel to Yorkshire looking to break back into the top two after three wins on the bounce, having taken well to life under Jon Dahl Tomassonfollowing his summer appointment.

A perfect start to the season was followed by a run of three consecutive defeats, and while the Lancashire outfit have lost seven Championship games and not yet drawn, they do now boast a league-high tally of 10 victories in 17 matches.
Following a setback away at Wigan Athletic, Rovers returned to winning ways against Middlesbrough, picking up a 2-1 victory at the Riverside Stadium
thanks to a Sam Gallagher brace, before making it back-to-back three point hauls as Ben Brereton Diaz and Scott Wharton found the net in a 2-0 triumph over Sunderland at Ewood Park.
Looking to make it three wins on the bounce, Tomasson’s side most recently hosted Birmingham City last weekend, and they went two goals ahead through Gallagher and Adam Wharton before holding out for all three points after Scott Hogan pulled one back for their visitors in the 80th minute.
