The former Championship outfit host the Hammers at the KC Stadium on Saturday following their 3-2 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park.
Steve Bruce's men kept their winning run going by knocking Huddersfield Town out of the Capital One Cup this week, while West Ham have had an inconsistent start to their campaign.
Sam Allardyce has not witnessed his side win a game since their opening 2-0 win over Cardiff City in August, their latest match resulting in a 3-2 defeat to Everton.
Despite West Ham's recent form, they have won four of their last five meetings with Hull and drawn one.
With Andy Carroll still out injured and Modibo Maiga struggling to find form, Ricardo Vaz Te may be called into the team, while Bruce is expected to be without Maynor Figueroa, who is on compassionate leave.
Both sides come into the match off the back of 3-2 scorelines in their last league matches, but they were both on different sides of the result. Hull were certainly impressive against Newcastle as they managed to shock their hosts and take three points away from the North East which would have made former Sunderland manager and Geordie Steve Bruce very happy. On the other hand West Ham were turned over by an unbeaten Everton side after conceding two goals with ten men as Mark Noble was sent off for two bookable offences.
Hull City: McGregor; Rosenior, Davies, Chester, Elmohamady; Brady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Quinn; Aluko, Graham
West Ham United: Jaaskelainen; O'Brien, Rat, Collins, Reid; Noble, Morrison, Nolan, Diame, Jarvis; Vaz Te
