Hull travel to West Ham on Wednesday night Looking to end a run of 5 straight league defeats. West Ham haven't lost in the league in their last 4 games. The teams go into the match in 8th and 9th in the league and a seprated by just 2 points a win for Hull could move them above the Hammers and into 8th.

Team News

Hull are with out George Boateng, Nick Barmby and Anthony Gardner. Craig Fagan returns from suspension and Kevin Kilbane is available again after being cup-tied for the weekend win over Millwall. New signing Jimmy Bullard could take some part in the game.


West Ham are still without Dean Ashton and Danny Gabbidon. New signing Savio Nsereko could make his Hammers debut.

Phil Brown
"We've got two Premier League games and six points to play for now. The announcement of a new record signing (Jimmy Bullard) ahead of that was going to be key to our positive mentality and approach.

"The announcement of Kamil Zayatte signing a new contract and Andy Dawson signing a new contract is also important. It was great to see Andy back on the field of play on Saturday showing what he can do.

"All of that is pointing towards a positive environment. We want to take that to Upton Park on Wednesday."

Gianfranco Zola
"It is a crucial game and gives us the opportunity to put some more space between us and the clubs behind. It is going to be tough because Hull are very well organised.

"But the team are confident and playing well.

"I always said this was a good team even when we were losing games. The best thing of all is that every point we have got so far has been deserved.

"It is the best feeling you can have."

Head 2 head

The last time Hull visited Upton Park on 6 October 1990, they were trounced 7-1 in the old Second Division.
