Writer's Prediction League: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Hull City

Capitulating. After a disheartening 3-0 loss to Stoke City last weekend, Tottenham Hotspur look to bounce back in their penultimate game of the league season. All that lays in the balance is the question of Europa League qualification, but even the value of that is questioned by the effort the club is displaying in the pursuit of that goal.

Arriving today is Hull City, currently sitting in 18th place, two points away from safety. The Tigers will be disheartened by the recent suspension of former Spur Jake Livermore due to a positive cocaine test, while the main goalscoring responsibilities will likely fall on Nikica Jelavic and Dame N'Doye. Tom Huddlestone and Robert Brady will look to marshall from midfield, while Michael Dawson leads the defense. Can Hull earn needed points and get themselves out of the relegation hunt?

As for the Prediction League, Caley tied things up at the top by foreseeing Spurs' loss to Stoke. The rules remain the same in the Prediction League -- one point for a correct prediction and a bonus point for getting the score correct. Here are the current standings:
