Hull City host Leeds United at the KCOM Stadium this afternoon, with Grant McCann’s side looking to address a poor run of form that’s left them looking over their shoulders.  

Without a victory since New Year’s Day and having lost the goals of Jarrod Bowen in January, Hull are sitting lower mid-table, with results below them in the Championship table creating a slightly nervous atmosphere.

Injuries are hampering McCann too, with key players missing. Today, the Hull teamsheet contains a few changes, with goalkeeper George Long carrying the captain’s armband.

Ahead of him is Robbie McKenzie, Matthew Pennington, Sean McLoughlin and Callum Elder.

Leonardo Da Silva Lopes and Kevin Stewart are in the centre of midfield, where George Honeyman will support them.

Mallik Wilks returns to face his boyhood club, whilst Martin Samuelsen is another new face in the starting XI.

Josh Magennis leads the line for the Tigers, with the likes of Jackson Irvine and Marcus Maddison on the bench.

Here, we take a look at the reaction to the Hull team news…
