Key battle
Hull halted their five game winless run with a point at Reading on Saturday. While Rovers will look to force the issue, the visitors will play on the counter attack, with Marcus Maddison a key threat playing from the right.
Last meeting
Derrick Williams scored the only goal of the game as Rovers made it three consecutive wins against the Tigers in August. Rovers were indebted to a first half penalty save from Christian Walton to deny Jarrod Bowen in the 1-0 victory.
Referee
Jeremy Simpson: Carnforth official has shown 67 yellow cards and six red, two of those coming in Rovers’ 1-1 draw at Swansea in December. Tony Mowbray labelled his decision to send off Bradley Dack as “unbelievable”.
