Steve Bruce’s Hull City play host to Southampton, a team in red hot form, who in their last six games have outperformed league leaders Chelsea. Graziano Pellè leads the line and will be keen to add to his tally. Hull are missing key players in Nikica Jelavic and Michael Dawson, which could seriously hinder their chances of improving a poor record at home.
