Hull City's predicted starting XI for Millwall as Carl Rushworth and Joe Gelhardt decisions made
Ruben Selles' team selection at Millwall promises to be one of the more fascinating ones of his premiership so far as he looks to mastermind a second successive away success.
The Hull City boss says he's already decided whether or not he will start with loanee Carl Rushworth or keep faith with league ever-present Ivor Pandur for Saturday's trip to Millwall.
Pandur has started all 26 of City's Championship games so far, but fit-again Rushworth made his long-awaited debut in the FA Cup loss to Doncaster Rovers on Sunday.

That's not the only decision facing Selles, with one to be made at left-back with Ryan Giles the subject of strong interest again from Middlesbrough, which could open up Cody Drameh to start on the left, and Lewie Coyle on the right of the back four.
Further up the pitch, Joe Gelhardt could be handed a debut after his arrival from Leeds United earlier in the week, though fellow new arrivals Matt Crooks and Nordin Amrabat are expected to start on the bench.
Steven Alzate and Gustavo Puerta are fit after collecting minor issues in the FA Cup and will almost certainly start, while Ryan Longman, on his return to The Den, is likely to start on the bench where he'll be joined by the likes of Matty Jacob, provided he comes through training on Friday after a hip complaint.
Selles will still be unable to call upon Kasey Palmer, Charlie Hughes, Liam Millar, Mohamed Belloumi and the suspended Oscar Zambrano.
City's predicted starting XI: Rushworth, Drameh, McLoughlin, Jones, Coyle (c), Alzate, Slater, Puerta, Gelhardt, Kamara, Pedro.
