Game has settled down a bit after Reading's bright start.

Meanwhile, in social media-land....

Reading caretaker manager Martin Kuhl's son Aaron, a central defender on Reading's books, is currently on loan at Motherwell.

Lovely through ball from Oliver Norwood creates space behind the Hull defence again.

Matej Vydra can't quite control and Moses Odubajo steals in to clear as he prepares to pull the trigger.

Abel Hernandez once more looking a threat for Hull. 

Tries to squeeze some space as he approaches the Reading box, but Paul McShane is there to deflect it behind for a corner.

Sam Clucas' delivery is easily cleared.

Danny Williams and Nick Blackman have already forced good saves from Hull goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

Hull get a decent spell of possession for the first time this evening.

Moses Odubajo sees his attempted cross on the edge of the area blocked by Andrew Taylor.

Abel Hernandez also growing into the game now.

Again nothing doing from the corner, but a promising start from the visitors here.

Reading's wait for an away win of any description stretches back almost as far as that win at the Madejski Stadium 10 years ago.

Turf Moor, 26 September. Eleven games ago was their last success on the road in a 2-1 victory.

After a slight delay while a problem with one of the goal nets was fixed, tonight's FA Cup second-round replay is also under way.

Corner came to nothing, but again Reading get an early sight of goal.

Nick Blackman this time is the one to test Allan McGregor with a left-footed shot. Lovely lay-off from Matej Vydra.

McGregor across to push it behind once more for a corner.

Early chance for Reading as Danny Williams finds an opening on the edge of the area combining with Matej Vydra.

Good save at the feet by Allan McGregor. Credit, too, to David Meyler for a block which took the pace off the ball.

Corner to Reading.

As predicted, Reading have started off with a flat back four with Michael Hector in front of them.

Can caretaker manager Martin Kuhl inspire them to a long-overdue victory?

And we're off as Hull get us started....

Not many have made the trip to Hull this season so far and come away with any sort of reward.

Two draws and one defeat, against Derby on 27 November, are the only points Steve Bruce's side have dropped in front of their own supporters in the Championship this season.

They love to build up the atmosphere at the KC.

Lights go down around the ground, Eye of the Tiger by Survivor on the PA cranked up to 11.

Teams on their way out of the tunnel...

Back at the KC Stadium, almost time for the off. The two sides are ready....

A slightly more understated arrival for Hull's players....

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson has joked he is becoming like Only Fools & Horses' Del Boy in the transfer market.

"I don't think we'll go into the market and spend money," Robinson told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"There'll be wheeling and dealing. I'm getting good at that, becoming a bit of a Del Boy at this, but it's the restraints and the enjoyment of working for Milton Keynes."

The Dons beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 on Tuesday to move out of the Championship's relegation zone.

Lovely jubbly.

Tuesday's 4-0 defeat at Derby County proved to be a chastening experience for Bristol City, whose manager Steve Cotterill acknowledged the gulf between the two sides.

"I could have had 12 players out there tonight but I am not sure we could have handled them,"Cotterill told BBC Radio Bristol.

"For quite a few of them, it was the first time they have been here (to play Derby) and it looked like it."

Brighton's unbeaten record in the Championship remains intact, but only just.

The Seagulls led 2-0 at QPR on Tuesday before they were pegged back by Charlie Austin's brace, and there were some nervy moments late on following Lewis Dunk's red card.

As mentioned, Brighton's 2-2 draw allowed Middlesbrough to overtake the Sussex side at the top of the Championship.

Right - not long to go until kick-off at the KC, but first a recap of the Championship action so far this week.....

Middlesbrough overtook Brighton at the top of the Championship on Tuesday courtesy of Emilio Nsue's second-half goal ina scrappy win over Burnley.

Aitor Karanka's side kept a seventh clean sheet in eight games and moved ahead of Brighton, who they face next, on goal difference.

Nsue's second goal of the season proved a crucial intervention to earn Boro an eighth home win of the season.

How do you see tonight's game going?
