History of the Hull City v Derby County fixture

Hull City prepare to entertain Derby County at The KC Stadium at tea-time on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 22 previous games, with the The Tigers winning just 10.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The KC Stadium was less than a year ago, in October 2005, the The Tigers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
