Hull team news to follow
Hull strikers Marlon King and Dean Windass must wait to find out if they have paid the price for a midweek bust-up when boss Phil Brown picks his side to face Manchester City on Sunday.
Assistant manager Brian Horton insists the incident has been dealt with but while Windass has been a peripheral figure, King has been a key man in the Tigers' impressive start to the season.
Defender Andy Dawson looks unlikely to shake off a training ground knock, meaning Wales international Sam Ricketts should return.
Squad: Myhill, McShane, Turner, Zayatte, Dawson, Marney, Hughes, Boateng, Geovanni, King, Cousin, Barmby, Garcia, Windass, Mendy, Halmosi, Folan, Ricketts, Giannakopoulos, Duke, Ashbee.
Man City team news
Richard Dunne and Gelson Fernandes both serve one-match bans as Manchester City look to get their season back on track with a win over Hull at the KC Stadium on Sunday.
The pair were both sent off in last weekend's home defeat by Tottenham, a result that left the Blues anchored in the bottom half of the table.
Daniel Sturridge (ankle) is a doubt but Vincent Kompany should return after a groin problem.
Team (from): Hart, Schmeichel, Zabaleta, Onouha, Richards, Ben Haim, Garrido, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, Kompany, Elano, Robinho, Jo, Hamann, Evans, Benjani, Vassell, Caicedo, Berti.
