Coca-Cola Championship statistics for this weekend's games.

Hull (19) v Norwich (16).

Hull boss Phil Brown is expected to name an unchanged side. Nick Barmby, Dave Livermore and Stephen McPhee are all set to be available again after injury but will struggle to make the starting XI for the in-form Tigers - who have won three of their last four games to move five points clear of the drop zone.

Norwich will be without winger (thigh) Luke Chadwick, who joins Robert Earnshaw (groin), Chris Brown (back) and Peter Thorne (thigh) in the stands, while there are doubts over the fitness of Dion Dublin (groin) and skipper Adam Drury (ankle).

Last season: Hull 1 Norwich 1, Norwich 2 Hull 1.

Last five league matches: Hull L W W L W; Norwich L L W W L.

Leicester (17) v Derby (1).

Foxes trio Patrick Kisnorbo, Danny Tiatto and Iain Hume have been passed fit by boss Rob Kelly after carrying ''bumps and bruises'' following the defeat at Stoke. However, Gareth McAuley is not yet ready to return from a hamstring problem and Paddy McCarthy (shoulder) misses the remainder of the season.

Derby manager Billy Davies has doubts over the fitness of midfield pair Stephen Pearson (foot) and David Jones (calf) while Steve Howard will serve the final instalment of a two-game suspension.
