Having recorded just one goal and one point from his first five matches at West Brom, this is the worst start that Steve Bruce has made to any of his 12 managerial jobs.
If the Championship season had started when the 61-year-old was appointed, the Baggies would be 23rd in the table and only above Peterborough United on goal difference.
A 2-0 home defeat to Swansea City on Monday left the Midlands outfit eight points adrift of the playoffs with 12 games left to play.
West Brom have lost six consecutive matches away from home and have not won on the road since the beginning of December.
However, they still have the third-best defence in the Championship and have won their last four meetings with Hull, with Karlan Grant scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory at The Hawthorns in November.
Hull ended their own winless run last weekend, triumphing for the first time in seven matches with a convincing 3-0 victory over Peterborough.

Tyler Smith opened the scoring with his first league goal, before a Keane Lewis-Potter brace secured what was only a second win in charge for Shota Arveladze.
It was the first time since the opening day of the season that the Tigers – who are the third-lowest scorers in the Championship – had found the net more than twice in one game.
However, Arveladze’s side have lost their last three games at the MKM Stadium, with only Peterborough and Barnsley picking up fewer points at home in the Championship this season
