Hull get this Premier League clash underway!
The pressure is on both teams to pick up points very quickly, with Hull one point from safety and Boro five behind 17th-placed Swansea.
Welcome along to our live text commentary of Hull City vs Middlesbrough from the Premier League. Tonight's game sees two relegation candidates do battle in what is a six-pointer at the foot of the table. It promises to be cagey and tense but you can see watch all the chaos unfold here.
Hull come into this game in 18th, with Boro in 19th so nerves are expected early on. Marco Silva's men have won two of their last five Premier League games and one of them came at the weekend. West Ham were no match for them and the Tigers eventually secured a 2-1 win.
Boro have endured a miserable few months and they have lost four of their last five matches and have not won in the league since December. Their last win came against Swansea and Steve Agnew's men come into this clash on the back of a 0-0 draw with the Welsh outfit.
Tonight's TEAM NEWS coming up...
Hull Starting XI (4-4-2): Jakupovic, El Mohamady, Ranocchia, Maguire, Robertson, Grosicki, N'Diaye, Clucas, Markovic, Niasse, Hernandez.
After seeing a flat back-four beat West Ham, Silva has altered his first-team with Curtis Davies dropping out and Kamil Grosicki coming into the midfield. On the other hand, Agnew has decided to go for it and plays two up front. He has made three changes from Sunday's 0-0 draw with Swansea...in come Rudy Gestede, James Husband, Daniel Ayala for Gaston Ramirez, Fabio and Bernardo.
HALF-TIME: Hull 3-2 Boro - time to get our breath back.
What a crazy first-half that was! It's easy to forget that Boro took the lead through Negredo but Hull showed plenty of confidence going forward. They should still be 3-1 up but for a poor call from the officials.
In the second-half it would be wise for both teams to tighten up and try play their way into games...but that would be boring and both of these teams are fighting for every ball. Bring it on!!
FULL-TIME - Hull 4-2 Middlesbrough - HUGE THREE POINTS FOR THE TIGERS!!!
Hull secure back-to-back wins for the first time since the start of the season and they now move out of the bottom three with Swansea losing. They are two clear of their Welsh rivals and Marco Silva's men march on.
Boro showed some real attacking intent for the first time in months but that was not enough to stop Hull. Silva has got his side fighting for every single second and it is a pleasure to watch. Boro are now seven points away from safety with eight games to go. They need a huge turnaround now. Thanks for joining us once again, goodbye!
