Hull City are going for three league victories in a row for the first time since the start of October last year.
Leicester's only Championship defeat so far this season came in their first away game of the campaign at Preston North End.
Hull have only won two of their past nine league meetings with Leicester City (D3 L4), with the most recent ending 2-2 in March 2024.
Leicester have only won one of their past five league trips to Hull City (D2 L2), winning 1-0 in the Premier League in December 2014.
After their 1-0 win over Sheffield United, Hull could win back-to-back home league games for only the second time since the start of last season, last doing so in March.
Leicester have won as many of their five away games in the Championship this season (2) as they managed in 19 on the road in the Premier League last term.
Hull's Oli McBurnie has been directly involved in 15 goals in his past 14 home league games in English football, scoring 10 and assisting another five. McBurnie scored in both of his two previous home league matches against Leicester as a Sheffield United player.
