After suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Stoke City on Friday, Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior was left feeling disheartened. However, with a clear weekend to regroup, he will be hoping for a strong response from his team as they take on Leeds United on Monday night.
Making changes from their previous Championship match against Leicester three weeks ago, Rosenior opted to bring in Sean McLoughlin for Jacob Greaves, who was suspended, and handed Noah Ohio his first start up front in place of Abdush Omur.
The performance against Stoke was lackluster, especially in the attacking department, with players like Anass Zaroury, Jaden Philogene, and Fabio Carvalho failing to make an impact. Ohio, on his debut, struggled to make an impact as well.
With a history of setting up with a high press away from home, Rosenior is likely to stick with a similar tactical approach that has proven successful in recent matches against Southampton and Leicester. This could see Ohio dropped, Omur returning to the starting lineup, and the inclusion of players like Zaroury, Philogene, and Carvalho in the attacking positions. There may also be a possibility of Tyler Morton returning to the starting lineup.
The defensive lineup is expected to remain unchanged due to Greaves’ absence, meaning any alterations will likely come in the midfield and attacking areas.
Projected starting XI for Hull City: Allsop, Giles, McLoughlin, Jones, Coyle, Seri, Slater, Zaroury, Carvalho, Omur, Philogene.
