Hull City's season has been plagued by injury problems, with Ruben Selles unable to call upon a host of players as the Tigers head into the final months of the campaign.

A profitable January transfer window so far has increased his options markedly, with his bench at Sheffield United on Friday night having a big impact in helping City ease to an eye-catching 3-0 success. And there will almost certainly be another addition with Louie Barry set to feature against the Potters.

Despite that, however, City still have a flurry of players who will not be available for the first game of February on Saturday when Stoke City arrive at the MKM Stadium looking to inflict more home damage on the Tigers, who themselves will be desperate for a third home success of the campaign so far.
