Hull City transfer news: Tigers ‘face’ competition for Crystal Palace starlet, Watford ‘keeping tabs’ on non-league striker

Hull City played out a 0-0 stalemate against Watford yesterday as they returned to action for the first time in a month. The draw now means they have only won one of their last six matches as they sit two points above the Championship relegation zone.

The Tigers face another tough test against Sunderland this weekend, with the Black Cats able to move into the top six with a win over West Brom tonight. Tony Mowbray’s side may be ahead of Hull in terms of fitness after they faced Millwall last weekend after only three weeks out. Meanwhile, the Tigers are without a win in the league against Sunderland since both teams were in the Premier League in 2014.
