  1. Hull 0-0 Blackburn

    A ball is put into the box by Hull as they take the game to Blackburn in the early stages of this match.

    Ryan Longman is the only player in the box, however, and he can't work onto it before it sails past him.

  2. Hull 0-0 Blackburn

    Blackburn are on a 10-game unbeaten run with eight wins during that period.

    But it's Hull who've had much of the possession in the opening few minutes so far, however Rovers are a side that do like to sit back.

    Cracking atmosphere at the MKM Stadium tonight, buoyed by news of the takeover.

  3. KICK-OFF

    Hull 0-0 Blackburn

    We are under way in tonight's first Championship match.

    Are we in store for another eight-goal thriller or something a bit more pedestrian than Fulham's drubbing of Birmingham this time last night?

  4. Follow the action across the BBC

    And here's how things stand at the bottom of the pile.

    Hull and Reading can both pull away from the Championship's bottom three if they play their cards right this evening.

    Luton, who take on the Royals, are just out of shot here in 15th headed into tonight's game.

    After Fulham's stunning 6-2 win against Birmingham last night, this is the lay of the land at the top of the Championship this evening.

    Blackburn can put the pressure on the top two with victory against Hull this evening, however after tonight, both Fulham and Bournemouth will have a game in hand on them.

    Can Rovers keep up their promotion charge?
