Preview: Peterborough United vs. Hull City

Hull City will be eager to get their promotion push back on track on Saturday when they make the trip to struggling Peterborough United in the Championship.

The second-placed Tigers had their eight-match unbeaten run in the league ended last time out as they slumped to a surprise 3-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Posh will start the game three points adrift of safety following two losses in their last three games.

Peterborough come into the match with no fresh injury concerns.

Hull top scorer Sone Aluko has been ruled out for eight weeks, while fellow striker Ahmed Elmohamady was recently recalled from his loan spell by parent club Sunderland.

Jay Simpson and Nick Proschwitz are likely to start in attack for the visitors.
