Tomorrow afternoon, Hull City will compete in an FA Cup Semi-Final for only the second time in their history and 84 years after their first.
Having all but secured Premier League survival last weekend with a win over Swansea City, Steve Bruce and his City side can now turn their attentions to overcoming Sheffield United and earning a first ever FA Cup final appearance with Arsenal awaiting the victors of Sunday`s game.
Hull City will welcome back Tom Huddlestone after a back injury kept the former Spurs man out of last week`s match with Swansea. Apart from long term injuries to Robbie Brady, Paul McShane and Allan McGregor, City have no new injury concerns.
Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic are both cup tied, meaning Bruce must decide who to start-up front from Fryatt, Sagbo, Aluko and Boyd; the latter certain to start after his man of the match display and winning contribution against Swansea.
Sheffield United are without the cup-tied and former City striker Billy Paynter Chris Porter and Terry Kennedy both have minor knocks but Clough expects both will be fit to feature as part of his selection.
The two sides have only met twice before in the FA Cup with both sides recording a victory, City`s last coming after a replay in the 5th round in 2009. City`s progress to the semi-final has seen them defeat Middlesbrough, Southend United, Brighton and Sunderland whilst Sheffield United have overcome Colchester United, Cambridge United, Aston Villa, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Charlton Athletic.
