Hull City team news
As per a report by HullLive, Hull will assess Jean Michael Seri and Abdush Omur after their international trips with Ivory Coast and Turkey respectively.
Jacob Greaves is suspended for the Tigers for the next two games, whilst Liam Delap remains out of action.
Ryan Allsop should keep his place between the sticks despite January arrival Ivor Pandur playing in Hull’s recent friendly against Curacao.
The defence is likely to stay the same but Sean McLoughlin will come in for Greaves alongside Alfie Jones in the heart of the backline.
In midfield, Seri will start if he is deemed fit to after his Ivory Coast duties. If not, Regan Slater or Greg Docherty will be ready to slot in next to Tyler Morton.
Anass Zaroury, Fabio Carvalho and Jaden Philogene will be keen to cause Stoke some problems. The latter has had a loan spell with the Potters in the past.
In terms of the striker position, Rosenior has a big decision to make. The most likely scenario is him going without a recognised number nine with Omur, with the the likes of Noah Ohio, Billy Sharp and Aaron Connolly on the bench.
