Separated only by goal difference in mid-table, Hull City and Ipswich meet at the MKM Stadium with each looking to build on ten points from their opening eight matches.
Hull City sit 10th with 10 points after eight games, finding their feet in the top flight despite a six-match winless streak in the Premier League. Sergej Jakirovic's side shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Brentford last weekend, meaning the Tigers have not tasted victory since late August following their bright two-win opening to the campaign.
Ipswich Town arrive sitting 12th, also on 10 points from their first eight games after earning promotion back to the division without Kieran McKenna, who left in the summer. They were edged out 3-2 away at Manchester City last time out, leaving them with two wins and three losses across their previous five league outings.
