Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.Djordjevic becomes a Tigers targetThe Mirror are reporting that Serbian striker Filip Djordjevic is on Hull City's radar.
The 26-year-old is also wanted by fellow Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace, who beat City last weekend at the KC.
Djordjevic's prolific scoring record with Nantes has seen scouts flock to the French side, after netting eight goals in 14 Ligue 1 appearances.
And apparently goal-shy Palace, now under new boss Tony Pulis, and the Tigers - who are well known to be eyeing a new frontman - were among the spies to run the rule in recent weeks.
It is believed Djordjevic first caught the eye after scoring against Wales in a World Cup qualifier in September.
He could be available for a knockdown price in the new year as Nantes turned down a £4million bid from Ligue 1 rivals Lyon in the summer, but are ready to listen to offers, as there is less than a year left on Djordjevic's contract.
Another day, another striker linked to City!Long's drawn out saga takes another twist
Tigers target Shane Long will not be allowed to leave West Brom, despite the Baggies accepting a bid from City back in August, according to the Daily Express.
However, Assem Allam has anything to say about it, he may break the bank for transfers in January, and in football, money talks.
If West Brom are true to their word, it will be a bitter blow to City as one of their targets drifts away from them once again.Keeper Mignolet warns of physical KC clashSimon Mignolet has warned Liverpool to expect a tough "physical game" against the Tigers on Sunday.
The Reds, who are currently second in the Premier League table, travel to the KC fresh from a thrilling 3-3 draw with Everton at Goodison Park last time out.
Mignolet was brought to the Premier League by former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce, and the Reds goalkeeper expects his old manager to have his side up for the Reds clash.
"I know Bruce from my time at Sunderland and I know he always tries to get the lads up for it, so I'm sure they will be and put us under pressure," he said.
"I expect a physical game, but we have to look at ourselves and make sure we do the things we do best. We have to make sure we're ready and put in a good performance."Davies dominates the City statistics
The stats are in, and an ability to rack up enough attempts which really test the opposition goalkeeper continues to be a problem for City this season.
Of the two Tigers players who have registered more than 10 attempts on goal this term (Aluko - 11; Huddlestone - 12), neither have managed to achieve an on-target rate of more than 50% (Aluko - 45.5%; Huddlestone - 41.7%)Ahmed Elmohamady has so far been one of the focal points this season for City. He currently leads the squad for passes completed in the opponent's half this term, with 255 to his name.James Chester is currently ranked as one of the most effective defenders in the league according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. So far this season he's won a bumper 93.3% of his 15 attempted challenges.
Defensive colleague Curtis Davies has also been one of the league's outstanding performers at the back this season, with an outstanding 96 clearances. Playing every 90 minutes of the 12 games so far, Davies has certainly been willing to through his body into the cause though, with 13 blocks to his name, which places him joint third in the league.
He even has more shots than striker Danny Graham. City will be hoping Davies can produce that sort of quality against Liverpool tomorrow, and the Tigers will hope their defensive prowess halts the Reds.
