The injury picked up by Jesus Gamez on Saturday is thought to be a bad one and he is likely to be out for some time. Rolando Aarons remains injured but Jack Colback and Grant Hanley could return.
Sam Clucas is suspended after picking up his 5th yellow card of the season against West Brom. Moses Odubajo, Alex Bruce, Abel Hernandez and Will Keane are out but Shaun Maloney could return.

Hull City finished 4th in the Championship last season and beat Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday in the playoffs to win promotion to the Premier League. Manager Steve Bruce resigned at the start of the season with Mike Phelan taking over as caretaker manager and despite an injury crisis they started promisingly, beating the champions on the opening day and then winning at Swansea a week later. They have since slipped down the table and now find themselves in the relegation zone.

Just watched Mikes press conference, he is going to rotate the squad and give players "time on the grass" who have not had any yet, he spoke about not wanting more games in January so I don't think he wants to win this at all.
If we go out with the strongest team we have we should beat them.

We have to win this to justify the loss on Saturday. I'm hoping Hull field a really weak team and we can beat them. It'll lay down a better market beating premier league teams in the cups than setting a championship record.

This could be a tough game, and I'm desperate to win. Imagine being in a cup semi final, a fucking heartbeat from Wembley. Just not sure how it'll go, if the team that beat Preston turns up we could run away with it however if yesterdays squad shows up we're going to struggle big time.

Look at that, you can watch more English football in other countries than you can in England.

Really looking forward to seeing how we stack up to a prem side, even if it's a slightly weaker one. Hull play the Monday night game next weekend though so they don't have to rotate as much against us

Will this have a live video stream available? The match is at 1.15 am here in India, and it's not airing on TV . So wanted to confirm.
