In-form sides Hull City and Charlton Athletic will compete to go ahead as they meet at the MKM Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Both teams currently possess 18 points, with the Addicks two places above the seventh placed Tigers due to goal difference.
But Hull are on a four match unbeaten streak, winning their past three, and will be eager to break into that top six.
Hull City have won just three of their last 13 league games against Charlton Athletic (D5 L5), though all three have come on home soil during that time.
Charlton Athletic have lost three of their last four away league games against Hull City (W1), one more than across their prior 16 such matches combined between October 1929 and October 2007.
Hull have won each of their last two home league games and will be looking to win three in succession for the first time since November 2023.
Charlton won their last away league game 3-0 vs Ipswich in midweek; they haven't won successive away league games whilst netting 3+ goals in the process since May 2014.
Joe Gelhardt has either scored (2) or assisted (1) each of Hull's last three Championship goals; it's more goal involvements than in his previous 11 league games (2).
