Hull City v Tottenham Hotspur Preview

After an amazing start that included a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in October, Hull City's season has severely petered out.

They have not won a Barclays Premier League match in 2008, with their last victory coming against Middlesbrough on 6th December.

Spurs have endured six successive away defeats so will be eager to arrest the slump
