Town boss Mick McCarthy has made five changes for this evening’s game at Hull City with Giles Coke, Jonny Parr, Kevin Bru, Larsen Touré and Daryl Murphy all starting.

Cole Skuse (ankle) and David McGoldrick (groin) both miss out due to injury with Freddie Sears, Brett Pitman and Ainsley Maitland-Niles dropping to the bench.

The Blues look set to line-up in a 4-3-3 with Murphy in the centre of the front three with Parr on the left and Touré on the right and Coke, Douglas and Bru the midfield trio.

Skuse and McGoldrick both travelled and the injuries aren't thought to be serious. Ryan Fraser (knee), Tommy Oar (concussion), Luke Hyam (knee) and Teddy Bishop (hamstring and shin splints) are all unavailable.

Former Town loanee Jake Livermore starts for the Tigers, while ex-Blues defender Alex Bruce and one-time trialist Eldin Jakupović are on the bench.

Hull City: McGregor, Odubajo, Dawson (c), Davies, Robertson, Meyler, Livermore, Elmohamady, Clucas, Akpom, Hernandez. Subs: Jakupović, Bruce, Huddlestone, Maguire, Maloney, Diamé, Aluko.

Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Smith, Berra, Knudsen, Coke, Bru, Douglas, Touré, Parr, Murphy. Subs: Bialkowski, Maitland-Niles, Pitman, Sears, Malarczyk, McDonnell, Emmanuel. Referee: Christopher Kavanagh (Lancashire).

Bluewelshman added 21:51 - Oct 20 S.S.D.D. does anyone have the feeling Mick played this side just to piss us off. "Fans don't want Gerken, f**k them he's in the team". "Fans don't want Douglas and Skuse together, I'll drop the better player". "Fans want to see McGoldrick creating and looking like he gives a s**t, I'm not even putting him on the bench". "Fans are calling for me to change the back four, screw the f**king lot of you they aren't going anywhere, I've already got a ink stamp made with their names on". I'm afraid everyone, Mick don't listen to us, Mick don't change anything when he's shouted at, so everyone be nice, who know what he will do when pushed. COYB
