Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship fixture between Hull City and Leeds United at the KC Stadium.

The Championship's most in-form team Hull City welcome Leeds United to the KC Stadium on Saturday as they continue their push for promotion to the Premier League.

The Tigers have 14 points from a possible 18 and sit second in the table, five points off leaders Cardiff City.

David Meyler and Alex Bruce will both sit out through suspension, with Seyi Olofinjana and Paul McShane likely to feature.

A win for Neil Warnock's men could see them enter the playoff spaces, but must recover from their 4-1 humbling to Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day.

Lee Peltier is expected to return to the Leeds defence.

Recent form
