Overview
- Hull host Wrexham at the MKM Stadium on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT, looking to respond to Friday’s 4-1 loss to Middlesbrough.
- Manager Sergej Jakirovic is assessing midfield and defensive adjustments, including Matt Crooks deeper alongside Regan Slater and either recalling Charlie Hughes or switching to three centre-backs.
- John Lundstram is expected to be sidelined for the next couple of weeks, and there is uncertainty over Joe Gelhardt’s availability.
- Mohamed Belloumi has built up minutes in consecutive matches and is pushing for a first start since September, with Liam Millar and Oli McBurnie also back in the matchday picture.
- Wrexham arrive unbeaten in nine league games and could move above Hull with a win, in the clubs’ first league meeting since 2005 and their first ever at this level, with James McClean warning Hull will be ‘licking their wounds.’
