Starting with the hosts, while Hull might have been left frustrated earlier in the week as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss away at Derby, the Tigers have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the Championship this season. Despite only just dragging themselves over the finishing line last year as they clung to their second-tier status, Sergej Jakirovic's men have made plenty of improvements this time around.

"It feels good to be back in the team environment and back on the pitch. Everyone has been very welcoming. It's been a good few weeks but I'm just happy I'm here now and can focus on the football."

Hull City has been handed a transfer embargo for three transfer windows, preventing them from paying fees for players until January 2027.

Louie Barry is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Hull City following an impressive loan spell that saw him emerge as one of the Championship's brightest young attacking talents.
