    Burnley carelessly give away possession as Hull threaten down the right flank. But Sone Aluko cannot meet Ahmed Elmohamady's cross and Burnley's defence clear.

    'Eye of the Tiger' pumps out of the KC Stadium sound system as the Hull players return to the field. The home side need a Rocky Balboa-style knockout blow...

    Kevin Stokes: Alas the Clarets are doomed, but we will be back, stick with Sean Dyche! Between Hull, Sunderland, Leicester as to who joins us and QPR.

    They may be on the verge of heading down but the Clarets could find themselves in Europe next campaign.

    West Ham, Everton or Burnley could play in next season's Europa League after the Premier League was granted an extra place because of fair play.

    England finished second in Uefa's Fair Play table, earning an extra spot in the first qualifying round. That place will go to the team that tops the Premier League's fair play rankings, which is currently Liverpool.

    The Reds could reach Europe via their league placing so the second, third or fifth-placed teams could join them.

    "It is the same old story for Burnley, they are creating chances but not taking their chances. And Hull arguably have had better chances. It has been quite open and I think it will be more open after the break. Burnley have got to go for it. But that will leave it even more open for Hull to catch them on the break. If Hull score there will be no way back for Burnley."

    However, a Burnley goal might still prove irrelevant. As it stands, even a win at the KC Stadium would not be enough to stop the Clarets returning to the Championship today. That's because Aston Villa and Newcastle are avoiding defeat and Leicester are winning. Clear?

    And here is why both Hull and Burnley need to score - they are both stuck in the bottom three as it stands....

    Referee Martin Atkinson looks at his watch and decides to toot his half-time whistle pretty promptly. Food for thought for both teams at the break - both need to score, quickly.

    Is there time for another scoring opportunity before the break? Hull hope so. Tom Huddlestone tries to orchestrate another home attack, but can't find an incisive pass. One minute of added time...

    Burnley have a glimpse of the Hull goal. Another set-piece eventually falls in the home box to Clarets left-back Ben Mee, who can't keep his effort down.

    All gone a bit scrappy at the KC Stadium. Hull boss Steve Bruce looks nervous, chewing his lip, as he prowls the touchline.

    Another goal in Newcastle - and an equaliser for the home side against West Brom means they move back out of the bottom three at Hull's expense. The Geordie cheers are so loud that they can almost be heard down the east coast at the KC Stadium....

    Burnley have lost their way a little bit now, panicking in defence as they hurriedly clear. But Hull cannot take advantage and create another clearcut chance.

    The Tigers are smelling blood now. Hull are firmly on the front foot as they press for the opener.

    And Robbie Brady does produce! But the woodwork gets in the way as Burnley survive. The Hull midfielder's beautifully-crafted free- kick hits the top of the Burnley crossbar and bounces to safety.

    A free-kick looks the likeliest source of the opening goal. Now it is Hull who win a set-piece, with Robbie Brady and Dame N'Doye squabbling over the ball. Brady pulls rank - he needs to produce now...

    But Hull almost go back in to the drop zone by nearly conceding against Burnley. Ashley Barnes sends the ball goalwards, but Tigers keeper Steve Harper gathers at the second attempt.
