Hull City face Premier League title favourites Chelsea at the KC Stadium on Tuesday evening looking to grab a much-needed victory to pull them clear of the relegation zone.
The Tigers had the perfect opportunity to dispose of fellow strugglers Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, but after throwing the lead away twice to draw 2-2, Phil Brown's men remain in the thick of it at the wrong end of the table.
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Stephen Hunt popped up with the goals for Hull and they will be looking for more of the same from these two against a Chelsea side that are flying at the top of the tree.

Chelsea claimed yet another success on Saturday evening when they disposed of Burnley at Turf Moor. Nicolas Anelka opened the scoring for the Blues - his sixth goal in six games - before Steven Fletcher grabbed an equaliser.
However, it was Chelsea and England captain John Terry who was writing the headlines at the final whistle as his headed effort secured all three points to end a turbulent week for the centre-half.
Chelsea have now won their last five Premier League outings yet Hull have failed to win in their last nine and this barren run sees them sit second from bottom as their drop fears grow.
Carlo Ancelotti's Blues are likely to be without the services of Juliano Belletti (calf), Michael Essien and Jose Bosingwa (both knee) as the trio continue on their road to recovery.
With the Africa Cup of Nations now at a close, Chelsea could welcome back Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba to further add to City's problems ahead of the clash.

What a shot by Lamps.
What happened to Anelka. .?

Goodness. Hull have had like six corner kicks now.

come on Hull

Hull city's tactic to stop us from passing the ball around has been successful so far

We need to improve on our passes and overall play.

First chance of the match falls to ballack, shoulda scored

Nice cross from Ivanovic.
Ballack should be scoring that.

Am a Hull City surporter tonight

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

i swear we are winning tonight.

Chelsea concedes from another set piece, yet again

FFS. . . . what was Ballack doing there?

That hunt guy looks like trouble. . . .
oh shiit goal. . .

1. Ivanovic is having a nightmare (for 2 matches now)
2. Another set piece wahala

This will be a game of 2 halves but meanwhile, this is a very sluggish start from Chelsea.

When will this individual error stop, ballack was more attracted to the ball than his man

myhill shud frustrate em like he did spurs


Come on hull, am behind you today

I didn't see the goal.
We have to step it up now!

This game is not flowing man. . . something wrong. . . Drogba aint linking the play like Anelka did. . .
