Liam Rosenior, head coach of Hull City, faces a significant selection dilemma as he prepares his team to take on Leeds United at Elland Road. Following a disheartening 2-0 defeat to Stoke City on Friday, Rosenior is eager to witness a strong response from his side in the upcoming match.
The disappointment of the recent loss prompted Rosenior to make two changes to his lineup compared to their commendable performance against Leicester three weeks ago. Sean McLoughlin stepped in for the suspended Jacob Greaves, while Noah Ohio earned his first start upfront, replacing Abdush Omur, who was relegated to the bench.
The lackluster display against Stoke City, particularly in the attacking department, has left Rosenior contemplating further alterations. Players like Anass Zaroury, Jaden Philogene, and Fabio Carvalho failed to make significant contributions, while Ohio struggled to make an impact on his debut.
Considering Hull City’s away performances this season, Rosenior is likely to revert to a high-pressing strategy, reminiscent of successful outings against Southampton and Leicester. This tactical shift may see Ohio returning to the bench, with Omur rejoining the starting lineup alongside Zaroury, Philogene, and Carvalho in the attacking quartet. However, there is a possibility of Tyler Morton’s inclusion, potentially at the expense of Zaroury.
With Greaves unavailable, the defensive lineup is expected to remain unchanged, leaving potential alterations confined to the midfield and forward lines.
Projected Hull City Starting XI: Allsop, Giles, McLoughlin, Jones, Coyle, Seri, Slater, Zaroury, Carvalho, Omur, Philogene.
