Manager Manuel Pellegrini has made four changes to the Manchester City side that were knocked out of the Champions League earlier this week for today's lunchtime Premier League clash with Hull City.
Edin Dzeko is the lone striker following Sergio Aguero's hamstring injury, while Martin Demichelis, Gael Clichy and Javi Garcia also come into the side.
Meanwhile, there are three changes for the hosts following their 3-0 win over Sunderland in the FA Cup last weekend.
Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long return up front, while Jake Livermore is also included, as Matty Fryatt, Sone Aluko and Yannick Sagbo drop to the bench.
Hull: McGregor, Rosenior, Elmohamady, Figueroa, Chester, Davies, Huddlestone, Meyler, Livermore, Jelavic, Long
Subs: Harper, Bruce, Koren, Fryatt, Boyd, Sagbo, Aluko
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy, Garcia, Fernandinho, Toure, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko
Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Navas, Milner, Kolarov, Rodwell, Negredo
