Hull's 1-0 victory at Blackburn on Saturday took them up to third in the Championship table
Watford are looking for a new manager after Javi Gracia's shock resignation at the weekend#
Recommended bet: Draw
Lewis Koumas's late goal earned Hull a 1-0 win at struggling Blackburn on Saturday and the Tigers are favourites to follow up with a home victory over Watford on Tuesday.
A run of eight wins in 10 games has propelled Hull into the automatic-promotion race and they moved above Ipswich into third place at the weekend.
Watford, in contrast, suffered a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Swansea, prompting manager Javi Gracia to resign just three months into his second spell at the club.

The stats
Hull have won eight of their last 10 matches in the Championship.
Only one of the Tigers' last eight league games featured over 3.5 goals.
Three of Hull's last six victories were by a 1-0 scoreline.
Just three of Watford's 11 league wins this season have come away from home.
Six of the Hornets' last eight games ended with under 2.5 goals.
Seven of Watford's last eight Championship matches were level at half-time.
Prediction
Watford are no strangers to managerial changes but Gracia's departure on Sunday still came as a shock to the Hornets' fans and players.
They had won their last three Championship matches in 2025 before easing to a 3-0 home victory over Birmingham on New Year's Day.
But Gracia named a much-changed team for the 5-1 FA Cup defeat at Bristol City and Watford went on to take just two points from league games against Millwall, Portsmouth, Blackburn and Swansea.
They still have a strong squad at Championship level and it would be no surprise to see a positive response from the visitors at promotion-chasing Hull.
The Tigers are on a fantastic run but they have been winning plenty of tight games and their injury crisis could catch up with them on Tuesday evening.
Influential midfielder Crooks faces a month on the sidelines and the draw looks the best bet when a depleted Hull side take on Watford.
Five of the Tigers' last six league wins were by a one-goal margin and they lost 2-1 at Vicarage Road in September's reverse fixture.
Watford had 1-1 draws with Portsmouth and Blackburn before Saturday's loss to Swansea and they can pick up a point on Humberside.
They have had five draws in their last 12 away league matches and a low-scoring contest could be on the cards against Hull, who beat Blackburn on penalties in the FA Cup third round last month after a goalless 120 minutes.
