Team News

Hull
Stoke
  • Expect Liam Rosenior's only change here to be an enforced one with suspended centre-back Jacob Greaves set to be replaced by Sean McLaughlin.
  • Striker Liam Delap is the home side's only injury concern here.
  • Steven Schumacher will be without Lynden Gooch and Ben Pearson after they suffered muscle injuries during the game against Norwich.
  • Expect Jordan Thompson to replace the former in a like-for-like swap, while Million Manhoef could earn a start further forward.

Prediction

  • Hull took the lead on two occasions against promotion contenders Leicester last weekend but were pegged back both times as the Tigers settled for a point at the MKM Stadium.
  • Liam Rosenior's side remain firmly in the battle for the top six and are unbeaten in seven league games, but will need to end a run of four successive draws if they're to close the gap.
  • The optimism generated by the 2-1 win against Preston evaporated two weeks ago as Stoke were hammered 3-0 on home soil by sixth-placed Norwich.
  • The Potters have won two of their last four league games but remain in grave danger at the bottom end of the table, sitting just two points clear of the relegation zone.
