Hull face Preston in the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports Football Red Button.
Team news
Hull striker Josh Magennis is back in contention. Magennis has missed the Tigers' last four matches through suspension after being sent off for the second time this season in the win over Nottingham Forest.
He may have to settle for a place on the bench, with Tom Eaves performing well in his absence. Jarrod Bowen has been in fine form for City, scoring five goals in his last four games, and he will start at the KCOM Stadium.
Preston centre-back Ben Davies is doubtful after he sustained an ankle injury in the loss to Derby at the weekend. He faces a late fitness test, with Jordan Storey standing by to partner Patrick Bauer at the back.
Tom Clarke (knee), Andrew Hughes (foot) and Louis Moult (ACL) remain the only other absentees. Preston boss Alex Neil has confirmed that Clarke and Hughes are close to returning.
Recent form
Hull came from behind to draw 2-2 with Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday, a result that followed a narrow 1-0 loss at home to West Brom before the final international break of 2019.
Preston lost ground at the top of the Championship on Saturday, as Martyn Waghorn scored the winner in a 1-0 loss to Derby. That brought a three-game winning streak to a close, where Alex Neil had taken nine points from Huddersfield, Charlton and Blackburn.
