Hull City will welcome Norwich City to the KC Stadium for their first home fixture of the 2013/14 season and manager Steve Bruce could make a number of changes to the side which lost 2-0 at Chelsea on the opening weekend.
The formation is unlikely to change so we would expect City to line up in a 433 formation against Norwich who will start 442.
In goal will be Allan McGregor following his heroic display against Chelsea. The back four is unlikely to change too, the only possibility being the inclusion of Liam Rosenior at right-back should Elmohamady be pushed forward, although that would seem unlikely.
It is in midfield where Steve Bruce will have his biggest selection dilemma. After their performance on Sunday, both Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore look set to be handed a starting role in midfield. David Meyler could be most at risk at losing his place in order to allow Huddlestone to sit at the base of the three man midfield whilst a shuffling of the forward line could bring Livermore into contention.
Danny Graham failed to impress at Chelsea and whilst it is far too early to judge him on one league performance alone, the display by Sagbo whilst operating centrally gave much promise. If Yannick Sagbo is brought into the central role in place of Graham, that would allow Robbie Brady to take on a more natural wide role, allowing Livermore to settle into the three man midfield.
Sagbo and Brady would be accompanied by Sone Aluko to complete the three man attack.
Predicted starting eleven: McGregor, Elmohamady, Chester, Davies, Figeuroa, Huddlestone, Meyler, Koren, Brady, Aluko, Sagbo
