Grant McCann could make just one change to the side that faced Everton in the FA Cup last weekend with Ryan Longman returning on the right. Mallik Wilks is set to miss the next eight weeks with a serious injury, while strike partner Josh Magennis has departed the club to join League One Wigan. Jacob Brown, Josh Tymon and Tommy Smith could all return to the starting XI this weekend after missing the game against Preston. Right-back Tom Edwards will miss the next two months after suffering a groin injury since returning from a loan spell at New York Red Bulls.
Hull City put up a strong fight against Premier League strugglers Everton last weekend, but the Tigers couldn't avenge a 1-0 league defeat to Blackpool as they were beaten 3-2 in extra time by Rafa Benitez's side. The hosts are four points clear of 22nd-placed Peterborough, but have played a game more. Stoke missed the opportunity to move within two points of sixth-placed Huddersfield when they lost a game in hand 2-1 at home against Preston last Monday. The Potters are stalling in the playoff race and travel to Hull looking to improve a run of one win from the club's last six league games. 1:1
Stoke have been winning at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 7 matches against Hull in all competitions.
