Hull City v Tottenham preview
Hull City will be looking to halt their slide down the Premier League table when they entertain fellow strugglers Tottenham on Monday evening.
The Tigers have not won since beating Middlesbrough 2-1 in early December and they have been dragged back into the relegation battle.
However, they fought hard to hold Chelsea to a goalless draw in their last league outing, a result that led to the sacking of Luiz Felipe Scolari.
Phil Brown will now want his men to build on their performance at Stamford Bridge and pick up a victory that will put them nine points clear of the bottom three.
Hull must get through the rest of the season without Jimmy Bullard after the midfielder was ruled out with a serious knee injury.
Striker Craig Fagan is also set to be sidelined for a couple of games following minor surgery on his knee.
Striker Daniel Cousin is available against Spurs after recovering from his own minor knee operation while captain Ian Ashbee has overcome a calf problem.
Kevin Kilbane returns after being ineligible for last week's FA Cup tie against Sheffield United, but midfielder Ryan France (thigh) is doubtful.
Matt Duke is set to be restored in goal ahead of Boaz Myhill.
Trio back for Spurs
It is the start of a potentially season-defining week for Tottenham with the second leg of their Uefa Cup tie against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday and the Carling Cup final to follow on Sunday.
The clash at the KC Stadium is arguably the most important of the three and Harry Redknapp does not want his men to look ahead to the trip to Wembley just yet.
Spurs are just two points above the drop zone and they have developed a habit of conceding costly late goals on their travels that Redknapp will be desperate to stamp out.
Ledley King (hamstring/knee) is expected to be rested and Alan Hutton (foot) and Jermain Defoe (foot) are out but Redknapp will be able to call on a number of players who were cup-tied for the defeat to Shakhtar in Ukraine on Thursday.
Robbie Keane, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Vedran Corluka are all back in the squad and likely to start.
Luka Modric, Jonathan Woodgate, Wilson Palacios and Aaron Lennon were also rested against Shakhtar and come back into contention.
Heurelho Gomes has insisted he is still the club's No.1 goalkeeper but Redknapp may decide to recall winter signing Carlo Cudicini.
Possible starting XIs
Hull City: Duke, Ricketts, Turner, Zayatte, Dawson, Ashbee, Geovanni, Marney, Kilbane, Garcia, Cousin.
Tottenham: Cudicini, Corluka, Woodgate, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Palacios, Jenas, Modric, Keane, Pavlyuchenko.
