Preview: Burnley vs. Hull City

Hull City will be looking to reassert their ambitions for automatic promotion from the Championship when they visit Turf Moor on Monday evening.

The Tigers were beaten by fellow highflyers Crystal Palace on Tuesday and are now in third place behind Cardiff and Watford.

Steve Bruce's side had held the best away record in the division until losing the last three away from the KC Stadium.

Hosts Burnley are in need of three points just the same as they are clinging on to faint hopes of reaching the playoffs.

Sean Dyche's men are currently eight points off the top six but that deficit could be greater after others have played on Saturday.
