Hull could be boosted by the return of defender Jordy de Wijs for their home game against Preston.
Dutch defender De Wijs has missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, but returned to full training this week and is expected to be available.
Striker Fraizer Campbell is also expected to feature after being forced out of the recent defeat at Sheffield United with a knock. Brazilian midfielder Evandro remains doubtful due to the hamstring injury that has kept him out since mid-September.
Preston midfielder Ryan Ledson is back in contention after missing the home win against Wigan before the international break with an ankle problem. Sean Maguire will be monitored after returning to action for the first time this season against Wigan as a substitute following his long-term hamstring injury.
Midfielder Josh Harrop has had cruciate knee ligament surgery this week and is likely to be out for the rest of the season. Striker Billy Bodin remains sidelined with a similar injury as Alex Neil's side bid for back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Hull have lost their last three league matches against Preston - they had won their three matches prior to this run.
Preston have never won consecutive away league visits to Hull - this is their 28th away league game against the Tigers.
Hull striker Jarrod Bowen scored in both Championship matches against Preston last season (two goals) but ended on the losing side in both games.
No Championship side has conceded more first half goals this season than Preston (10, level with Stoke).
Hull have lost seven of their last nine games in all competitions (W1 D1), scoring just five goals across those matches.
Preston's last eight matches in all competitions have seen 36 goals scored (17 for, 19 against).
