Brentford will be without suspended defender Ezri Konsa for their home game against Hull.
Centre-half Konsa was sent off for two yellow cards in last week's defeat at Swansea and sits out a one-game ban. Defender Rico Henry (foot), Emiliano Marcondes (ankle) and Lewis Macleod (hamstring) are still out. Henrik Dalsgaard could return to contention after missing the last two games due to a broken bone in his hand.
Hull defender Jordy de Wijs (calf) is back in contention after a month-long injury lay-off. De Wijs returned to full training this week and will be included in Nigel Adkins' squad.
Kevin Stewart and fellow midfielder Daniel Batty are both struggling with back injuries, while Jon Toral and James Weir remain sidelined. Ondrej Mazuch is closing in on his return following an Achilles injury and Angus MacDonald is out for the season due to deep vein thrombosis.
Brentford are winless in five league matches against Hull (W0 D1 L4) since a 2-1 win on the final day of the 2004-05 season in League One.
Hull have won four of their last seven league visits to Brentford (D1 L2), winning most recently in November 2015 under Steve Bruce.
Brentford haven't won six consecutive home matches in all competitions since a run of seven under Mark Warburton in May 2014.
Hull have won just one of their last 15 away visits to London in all competitions (D4 L10), a 3-2 win at QPR last December.
Brentford's last five Championship goals have been scored after the 70th minute of games.
This is Hull manager Nigel Adkins' fifth league visit to Brentford (W2 D1 L1) - Thomas Frank is the fifth different Bees boss he's faced at Griffin Park (Scott Fitzgerald, Nicky Forster, Mark Warburton and Dean Smith).
David Prutton predicts: 2-2 (12/1 with Sky Bet)
