Match facts

Barnsley have picked up just two league victories in their last 10 clashes with Hull City, with both wins arriving at Oakwell (W2 D2 L6). Hull City will be searching for back-to-back away league wins at Barnsley for the first time since January 1989. Barnsley's three league Yorkshire derbies this season have all ended in defeat, against Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds and Huddersfield. Hull have won four of their last six league games (D1 L1), as many victories as in their previous 18 Championship matches (W4 D6 L8). Each of the last 10 sides to have won nine or fewer points after 18 league games of a season in the second tier have been relegated (Barnsley currently on nine points from 18 games), with Plymouth in 1963-64 (9 points after 18 games) the last side to avoid the drop from such a position. Hull's Jarrod Bowen has been involved in more Championship goals than any other player in the competition this season (16 - 12 goals and 4 assists), scoring or assisting on average every 101 minutes this campaign.
