Hull v Fulham line-ups: Whites unchanged, City star returns, Arsenal loanee dropped
Fulham have named an unchanged side to face Hull City at the KC Stadium.
It means Shaun Hutchinson retains his place, despite conceding an injury-time penalty in the home defeat to Brighton on Saturday.
Sean Kavanagh returns to the squad, as a substitute, displacing Finn Sakari Mattila.
Luke Garbutt, Scott Parker, Jack Grimmer (all ankle), George Williams (cruciate ligament) and Fernando Amorebieta (knee) are all unavailable for the Whites.
Hull striker Abel Hernandez returns following a three-match ban for punching Manchester United defender Phil Jones on the final day of last season, replacing Nikica Jelavic.
David Meyler and Sone Aluko also come into the Tigers’ starting line-up, with Isaac Hayden and Sam Clucas dropped to the bench.
Former Brentford full-back Moses Odubajo starts, as does Arsenal loanee Chuba Akpom.
Hull City: McGregor; Odubajo, Dawson, Davies, Robertson; Elmohamady, Meyler, Huddlestone, Aluko; Akpom, Hernandez.
Subs: Jakupovic, Taylor, Clucas, Maguire, Jelavic, Hayden, Luer.
Fulham: Bettinelli; Richards, Hutchinson, Bodurov, Voser; Cairney, Christensen, O’Hara, Pringle; McCormack, Smith.
Subs: Lonergan, Burn, Kavanagh, Tunnicliffe, Kacaniklic, Woodrow, Dembele.

Burn needs to see that the writing is on the wall and go to a club where they appreciate him. Bodorov and Hutchinson are pants. But Hutchinson looks slightly less pants alongside Burn. Let’s pray Hull have no idea where the goal is.

Well here we go again with a weak defence. Hull should win easily I reckon 3-1. Bodurov again, he would not get into a Division One team let alone a Championship side. The worst defender in the Championship by some distance!
