Team news, manager previews, betting odds and the officials ahead of Towns game against Hull City tomorrow.

Hull manager Peter Taylor will be without Ian Ashbee, Danny Coles, Stephen McPhee and Alton Thelwell and Roland Edge.

 

Hull manager Peter Taylor: currently no pre-match thoughts available.

 

Town may be with out ‘keeper Lewis Price who is struggling with a knee injury, Richard Naylor may be dropped after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Palace, which means a suspension but it is unclear when it kicks in while Kevin Horlock and Adam Proudlock are out with knee injuries, Sam Parkin is also out.

 

Town manager Joe Royle: currently no pre-match thoughts available.

 

Match odds from William Hill:

Hull: 13/10

Draw: 21/10

Town: 7/4

 

Officials:

Referee: Clive Oliver (Northumberland)

Assistant Referees: Richard Hewitt (Yorkshire) and Andy Page (Derbyshire)

Fourth Official: Stephen Cooke (Nottinghamshire)

 

STB Prediction: After the shambles of Boxing Day I wouldn’t know what to expect, but I’ve heard that Hull’s defending against Crewe was a shambles so there is hope for Town, lets go for a 1-0 away win (that’s a 7/1).
