Cauley Woodrow is immediately in to the thick of things, attacking Jamie Paterson's cross, but Villa defend it well.

Cauley Woodrow, on loan from Fulham, is coming on for the hosts up front.

Off goes Famara Diedhiou.

The hosts win back-to-back corners at the other end, but nothing comes from them.

While things have really got going at Ashton Gate, the second-half between Hull City and Bolton has certainly become more intriguing than the first.

Jarrod Bowen threatened to add his second and Hull's fourth of the night, but blasted over.

At the other end Adam Le Fondre tested Tigers goalkeeper Allan McGregor from distance.

Conor Hourihane's shot is blocked from close range. Bristol City threw bodies in front of the ball there.

Bristol City can't find their rhythm at the moment. The Villa fans are feeling confident again.

Well, well, well. Who's game is this now?

We were waiting for things to burst in to life and now we appear to have a cracking final 25 minutes in prospect.

There's not been much to separate the two sides until now, but that goal has given the hosts a huge lift.

This is a big test for Aston Villa now. They desperately don't want yet another away defeat.

We are almost 10 minute into the second-half at the KCOM Stadium, where the score remains 3-0 in Hull's favour.

While the Tigers have pressed for a fourth, they are yet to seriously threaten since the break.

Meanwhile, Josh Cullen is shown a yellow for Bolton following his tackle on David Meyler.

John Terry brings down Bristol City's Bobby Reid right on the edge of the penalty area, in front of goal.

Free-kick. Big moment in the game...

There's a half chance for Villa, as Keinan Davis wriggles in the area, but his shot on the turn is well wide.

The home fans are just slightly down at the moment. They need a lift. A spark. A moment.

All the noise is coming from the away end.

Villa break through Keinan Davis, who finds Josh Onomah, but Onomah can't find his teammate for a return pass.

Villa start the second half brightly and Keinan Davis looks lively. Josh Onomah gets in to the area but his low shot from a narrow angle is saved.

Hosts Bristol City - in their red shirts and white shorts - get the second half started.

Villa are making a change at the break as Christopher Samba has picked up a knee issue.

On comes James Bree at right-back.

Jon Evans: Elmohamady needs to stop having a strop when he's not passed to or the ball isn't perfect. He's not good enough for that temperament.

Andy Perry: Snodgrass left the Tigers to play in the Premier League. Just over six months later he's unwanted & in the Championship.

While ex-Hull City players Elmohamady and Snodgrass are creating some Aston Villa chatter, their former club is doing pretty well for themselves tonight at home to Bolton.

He's not involved tonight as the deal went through merely four hours ago, but just in case you missed it, Villa signed West Ham United's Scotland winger Robert Snodgrass on loan earlier today.
