Injured: Abel Hernandez, Will Keane, Moses Odubajo, Andrew Robertson, Greg Luer, Alex Bruce.
Robert Snodgrass: For me Robert Snodgrass is one of Hull City's standout performers and he could be a match winner. He's netted five goals in all competitions this season, as well as scoring a hat-trick for Scotland, and like Michael Dawson he scored against Southampton. Part of their success from set pieces is down to the midfielder's brilliant execution from free-kicks and corners. He was a real success at Leeds United and Norwich City, but he's really taken his game to a new level this season.
Harry Maguire: Harry Maguire caught the eye of many during the early stages of his career with Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly keeping tabs on the youngster during his time at Sheffield United. Still just 23, Maguire made over 150 appearances for his boyhood club where he impressed and won Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in 2012. Two years later he joined Hull and initially he stuttered with first-team opportunities limited, but he's made 10 appearances already this campaign and should make another this weekend.
Sam Clucas: Not many players are released by Lincoln City before going on to play in the Premier League, but Sam Clucas is proof that anything is possible with hard work and determination, along with a little bit of faith. I’m a big fan of players who don’t take the traditional route to top-flight football, and having also played for the likes of Hereford United, Mansfield Town and Chesterfield, Clucas will have a little extra too. He’s a shining example to players who are released from any club because they all have the tools and they just need to use them.
Dieumerci Mbokani: On loan from Dynamo Kiev, I would expect Dieumerci Mbokani to start on Saturday with Will Keane and Abel Hernandez, who both started against Southampton, out injured. The striker is yet to open his Hull account making four appearances, but he showed the Premier League what he can do last year with Norwich. He's scored goals across Europe turning out for Standard Liege, Monaco, Wolfsburg and Anderlecht among others, so he has the experience and talent to win a game.
Michael Dawson: A player often linked with a move to Sunderland, Michael Dawson provides a steady influence and experience at the back. Starting out at Nottingham Forest, the defender made over 100 appearances for the club before moving to Tottenham Hotspur where he made his name. During the 2010-11 season he was the club's Player of the Year and he was equally valuable to Hull last year as they won promotion via the play-offs. A threat from set peices, the Tigers have scored more goals from them than any other PL side and he scored the winner last time out against Southampton.
