Hull City have problems in defence, with Reece Burke, Jordy de Wijs and Ondrej Mazuch all absent.

Ex-Birmingham defender Liam Ridgewell has joined the Tigers on a short-term deal, but is lacking match fitness.

Striker Sam Vokes could make his Stoke City debut after arriving on transfer deadline day, with Peter Crouch joining Burnley as part of the deal.

Defender Danny Batth is also set for his first Potters appearance, but midfielder Charlie Adam (calf) is out.
