BBC pundit Jobi McAnuff believes Hull City and Preston North End are in serious danger of relegation to League One as Derby County gear up for survival Saturday.

Hull, Preston may be most at risk...

And according to former Barnsley boss Darrell Clarke, it is Preston North End who will be heading through the trapdoor to League One.

The duo were discussing a titanic relegation battle in which five clubs are battling to avoid being dragged into the third tier this weekend.

The Rams, Stoke City, Hull, Preston and Luton Town are all in trouble going into the final day, although the bookies have Hull as favourites to go down after their defeat against John Eustace's side put them in the bottom three last weekend.

McAnuff told 72+: "For me, Hull and Preston are the ones that are in trouble. I can see Bristol City winning at home (v Preston).

"They've got a brilliant home record and Hull, having lost the game against Derby so late on, I just wonder what that does for the team spirit and the morale going into it.

"They've been the ones that have been dragged down there a little bit and looking at the table now, with points to make up, I think they're going to be in a little bit of trouble.

"What a disaster that would be after finishing seventh, getting rid of Liam Rosenior, which we felt was ridiculous at the time."

Former Barnsley boss Clarke maintains it will be Preston who go down due to a horrific run of form that has left them in real danger at the bottom.

Clarke added: "I just feel that they're going to get relegated. I like Hecky (Paul Heckingbottom) as a manager but I just think to myself that they've dropped off the cliff.
