More broadly, Norwich require a victory to close the gap to tonight's opponents to a singular point and to the top six to two points. Defeat would leave them with an uphill battle for the rest of the season.
Norwich have picked up just one point in their last three games and received criticism for an underpar display in last weekend's 1-1 draw with League One side Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup third round at Carrow Road.
City now starts a busy week hoping to regain control of the narrative and produce performances and results capable of changing supporters' opinions.
The club confirmed this week that on-loan Nottingham Forest striker Hwang Ui-Jo would see his spell at Carrow Road cut short through injury. Josh Sargent's return leaves Wagner well-stocked with options in advanced areas.
Grant Hanley has suffered a minor back strain that will keep him out of action for up to two weeks, with Norwich still approaching his fitness with caution after a lengthy Achilles injury that sidelined him for eight months.
Otherwise, Wagner has a fully fit squad to select from, with midfielder Jacob Sorensen back in contention after a groin injury that has kept him out of action since pre-season.
Hull have a bigger injury list to contend with at present, having lost winger Jaden Philogene, Dogukan Sinik, Ruben Vinagre and Liam Delap to fitness-related issues. Midfielder Jean Michael Seri and Adama Traore are away competing in this month's African Cup of Nations.
Despite a largely positive Championship campaign under the highly-rated Liam Rosenior, Hull have struggled for consistency of late. They head into this evening's clash having won just one of their last five matches in all competitions.
The Tigers have been boosted by the loan addition of Liverpool winger Fabio Carvalho, who is expected to be handed his debut this evening. Striker Billy Sharp could also make his first start since joining Hull earlier this month.
Norwich are seeking their first victory at the MKM Stadium since a 2-1 victory in 2007, courtesy of goals from Darren Huckerby and Dickson Etuhu.
