Hull City Preview – Can the Tigers upset another promotion chaser?
Hull City have had a tough return to the Championship after winning EFL League One last term. However, staying in the second tier was always the priority, and the Tigers are a big 13 points clear of the drop. Barring a disaster, Hull will be a Championship club next season.
City picked up an impressive win on Wednesday night, beating play-off chasers Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena. That was only Shota Arveladze’s third win as Hull boss.
Hull are not going to go down, so the Tigers can enjoy the last couple of months of the season. After beating the Sky Blues in midweek, can City upset another promotion challenger on Saturday?
Luton Town Preview – Will the Hatters return to Bedfordshire with a huge three points?
Luton Town have arguably been the surprise package in the Championship this season. Many had them down as relegation fodder before a ball was kicked, but the Hatters are in the play-offs with a handful of games to go.
Luton’s incredible run since December has taken them into fifth position. Since a 2-1 home loss to Cardiff City in November, the Hatters have won 11 of their following 17 league games.
