Stoke City v Hull City (12:00 BST)
Here's the side Tigers boss Liam Rosenior has picked to face Stoke.
Liverpool loanee Tyler Morton makes his first Hull start as one of three changes, along with Rúben Vinagre and Adama Traoré's return to the starting 11.
Captain Lewie Coyle is missing from the squad because of concussion protocols.
Hull: Allsop, Vinagre, Greaves (c), Jones, Traore, Morton, Philogene, Seri, Slater, Christie, Connolly.
Subs: Ingram, McLoughlin, Tufan, Allahyar, Delap, Lokilo, Furlong, Smith, Twine.
Stoke City v Hull City (12:00 BST)
Alex Neil has made one change for the visit of Hull, with Jordan Thompson replacing the suspended Ben Pearson.
Andre Vidigal and Ki-Jana Hoever are on the bench as they make their return from injury.
Stoke City: Travers, McNally, Rose, Wilmot, Gooch, Thompson, Burger, Laurent (c), Johnson, Campbell, Haksabanovic.
Subs: Bonham, Tchamadeu, Leris, Vidigal, Hoever, Wesley, Junho, Sidibe, Gayle.
Stoke City v Hull City (12:00 BST)
Hull are winless in their past 11 league visits to Stoke (D4, L7) since they won 3-0 in 2005-06 under manager Peter Taylor.
But they will be quietly confident that they can break that run against the Potters today.
A goalless draw against Leeds in midweek saw the Tigers stretch their unbeaten run to six games in a run that has seen them rise to seventh in the table.
Win today and they would move up to fourth. They will be looking to Aaron Connolly and Turkey international Ozan Tufan for goals with the duo both having four this season.
Although Tufan will have to come off the bench to get on target today as he is named among the substitutes.
Stoke City v Hull City (12:00 BST)
Stoke have not won in their past four Championship games and face a tough task to get three points on the board today against a confident Hull side unbeaten in six.
The Potters last tasted success in the league over a month ago with summer signing Andre Vidigal scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Watford on 19 August.
During that run they did enjoy a resounding 6-1 win over Rotherham in the EFL Cup, with the Millers being a favourite opponent this season as Stoke also beat them 4-1 in the league on the opening day.
History is on their side in this particular fixture, with Stoke having won eight of their past 11 league games against Hull (D1 L2), including four of their last five.
However, since Alex Neil’s first home league game in charge of Stoke City in August 2022, only QPR (13) have lost more home Championship games than the Potters (12).
Good morning!
We have some excellent Sunday entertainment in the Championship for you today.
First up, its the high noon showdown between Potters and Tigers as Stoke City and Hull City come up against each other.
Then a little later after you've enjoyed your Sunday lunch we have more exciting fare as two in-form teams in Sunderland and Cardiff face off at the Stadium of Light.
That sounds a pretty good Sunday to me!
