Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is expecting a tough test against a Hull City side who are unbeaten in five matches heading into tomorrow’s clash at the MKM Stadium.
While the Blues know that three wins from their final three games will guarantee automatic promotion, the Tigers are still fighting hard to secure a top-six finish, albeit that they’ll need maximum points and results elsewhere to go in their favour if they’re to make it.

It certainly helps that they’ve stuck by manager Liam Rosenior - who’s shown promising signs in the early stages of his managerial career - and backed him with quality signings such as star attacker Fabio Carvalho, who joined on loan from Liverpool in January.
“He’s made a big difference,” McKenna said. “You can see it in his goals.
“It’s not just Carvalho but (Abdülkadir) Ömür as well, (Anass) Zaroury as well, Ryan Giles as well.
“To be honest, they’ve recruited fantastically in the summer and recruited fantastically in January as well.
“The individual talent level in their squad is really, really high, and they’ve got a really clear playing style and identity that Liam has built.
“I’ve got no doubts that they’re a very good side and no doubts that it’s going to be a tough game, but I’m sure they’ll feel the same way about us.
“It’s one to look forward to.”
