Hull City boss Steve Bruce has confirmed that loan signing Hatem Ben Arfa will be given his first start on Wednesday against West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup.

The winger has made one appearance for the Tigers since joining the club from Newcastle United, coming off the bench during their recent draw with West Ham United.

"There will be wholesale changes," Bruce told the club's official website. "Ben Arfa will make his full debut. The opportunity is there for players to put themselves in contention."

Hull travel to The Hawthorns in the third round of the competition.
