Hull City head coach Liam Rosenior must decide whether or not to change his starting line-up for the weekend visit of Swansea City at the start of a busy schedule which sees the promotion-chasing Tigers play five games in two weeks.
Rosenior will go in search of a third successive win for the first time as City boss, having won the last two at Sunderland and then against Millwall last time out.
Swansea are without a win under new boss Luke Williams, and Rosenior’s side will be strong favourites for the MKM Stadium meeting on Saturday.
The biggest question facing Rosenior is whether or not he starts with a recognised striker, something he didn’t do for the visit of the Lions, and in truth, they lacked a focal point through the middle, especially in the second half as the visitors carried a greater threat.
Experienced frontman Billy Sharp is yet to start a game since signing at the beginning of January, while deadline week arrival Noah Ohio came off the bench in the final 20 minutes on his debut.
The challenge facing Rosenior surrounds who he leaves out if he’s to bring in Sharp or Ohio. Jaden Philogene, Fabio Carvalho, Ozan Tufan and Anass Zaroury will be the front four, but perhaps the City boss could take out one of the sitting midfielders, and drop Tufan deeper to accommodate a natural frontman, though the smart money would probably be on him keeping faith with the side that performed so well in that opening half, but he’ll be looking for them to kick on this weekend and put the visitors to the sword.
