Hull City manager Steve Bruce has made one change to his side for the visit of Birmingham City as Alex Bruce comes in for the injured Curtis Davies.

However, the Tigers are without strikers Robert Snodgrass and Adama Diomande who remain on the sidelines.

Blues midfielder David Cotterill is only fit enough for a place on the bench after coming through a late fitness test.

Full-back Neal Eardley is nearing a return from a dislocated shoulder, but is not selected in today's squad.

Hull City: McGregor; Dawson, Bruce, Robertson, Odubajo; Livermore, Meyler, Elmohamady, Clucas; Akpom, Hernandez
Subs: Jakupovic, Maguire, Hayden, Huddlestone, Diame, Maloney, Luer

Birmingham City: Kuszczak; Caddis, Morrison, Robinson, Grounds; Gleeson, Spector, Kieftenbeld, Gray, Maghoma; Donaldson
Subs: Legzdins, Cotterill, Soloman-Otabor, Toral, Shinnie, Davis, Brock-Madsen
