Meanwhile, Hull go with George Long in goal, behind a four-man defence of Eric Lichaj, Reece Burke, Jordy de Wijs and Callum Elder.

Daniel Batty partners Leo Da Silva Lopes in midfield, with the dangerous trio of Jarrod Bowen, Jackson Irvine and Kamil Grosicki supporting Tom Eaves up top.

Ex-Leeds loanee Matthew Pennington is on the bench, alongside Matt Ingram, Ryan Tafazolli, George Honeyman, Josh Bowler, Stephen Kingsley and Keane Lewis-Potter.
