Overview
- Hull defeated Leicester 2-1 at the MKM Stadium to make it three wins in a row, record a fourth home victory, and sit just outside the play-off places on goal difference.
- Liam Millar scored on his first start after a year out with an ACL injury before Joe Gelhardt added the second from a Ryan Giles cross.
- Top scorer Oli McBurnie missed the match with a knee problem and will be assessed over the coming days, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures in doubt.
- Captain Lewie Coyle, who sustained an ankle knock at Birmingham, was only on the bench and is awaiting scan results to determine short‑term availability.
- Ryan Giles was forced off in the second half and will be checked by medical staff after contributing the assist for Hull’s second goal.
