Alan Pardew's headbutt on David Meyler grabbed all the headlines when Newcastle United ran out 4-1 winners at Hull at the start of March, while George Boyd's clash with Joe Hart in last Saturday's match against Manchester City has been the centre of attention this week.
Boyd had since been hit with a three-match ban for allegedly spitting at the England goalkeeper, but will be back in time for Hull's FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United, which Steve Bruce's side reached after beating Sunderland in their other home match this month.
West Brom have been no strangers to the media spotlight themselves recently, with Nicolas Anelka's 'quenelle' saga finally coming to an end last Friday with the striker's sacking.
Pepe Mel's charges quickly put that behind them to record a morale-boosting 2-1 come-from-behind triumph over Swansea City the next day.
The three points slightly eased the club's relegation worries and a victory on Saturday would lift them above Hull in the Premier League table.
Hull fans may be busy planning their FA Cup trip, but Bruce's men have lost back-to-back home league matches either side of their quarter-final win against Sunderland.
West Brom's Matej Vydra scored a late equaliser as these sides shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw earlier this season, but Shane Long will be in the opposition line-up this time around, having signed for Hull in January.
