Premier League: Hull v Newcastle, today, 3pm
Phil Brown has cranked up the pressure on Newcastle, claiming today's KC Stadium clash is a must-win for the Toon.
Brown is aiming for a third win over Newcastle and says he would never have imagined they would be below the Tigers at this stage of the season.
Hull boss Brown said: "This is a must-win game for them and it's a must-not-lose one for us.
"I don't think Newcastle expected to be where they are in the table at the start of the season. But they are down there and they are fighting for their lives like everyone else.

"I'm not sure they were prepared for the sort of season they have had and I don't think anyone thought they would be below Hull City in the table, but they are so that's that. Whether that gives us a psychological advantage, I'm not sure.
"All I know is that I would have accepted our current position seven months ago."
As someone proud of his North East roots, Brown is saddened by Newcastle's plight.
But he declared: "There's no room for sentiment in football, none at all. I'm an employee of Hull City and all I'm worried about is trying to beat Newcastle United. I certainly won't give Newcastle's problems a second thought if we beat them."
