Hull City will be looking to get their second win of the season against Wigan Athletic at the KCOM Stadium today. Here is a predicted starting XI for the Tigers-
GK- George Long- He will keep his place between the sticks ahead of Matt Ingram.
RB- Eric Lichaj- City’s skipper will be eager to lead his teammates to an important three points.
CB- Reece Burke- The 23-year-old had a loan spell with the Latics during the 2016/17 season from his former club West Ham United.
CB- Jordy de Wijs- He is likely to continue his partnership with Burke in the heart of defence.
LB- Callum Elder- Grant McCann has a tough decision to make at left-back and could hand Elder his debut. The Australian has also played for Wigan two years ago.
RM- Jarrod Bowen- The Tigers’ star man has managed four goals in seven games in all competitions so far this season and will be looking for another goal or two today.
CM- George Honeyman- The summer signing from Sunderland has his work cut out to keep his place in midfield with Markus Henriksen staying at the club.
CM- Kevin Stewart- He has made an impressive start to the campaign and won City’s Player of the Month for August.
CM- Jackson Irvine- The long-haired midfielder has been away on international duty with Australia.
LM- Kamil Grosicki- He will be keen to cause Wigan some serious problems down the left-hand side.
ST- Tom Eaves- The summer recruit from Gillingham needs his first goal.
