Hull manager Nick Barmby may decide to make some changes after his side's third successive defeat in midweek.
Midfielder Corry Evans and striker Aaron Mclean are available while forward Jay Simpson is hoping to make a start after coming on as a substitute.
Coventry's Nathan Cameron remains a doubt for the trip to the KC Stadium after the defender suffered an injury.
Carl Baker (hamstring), Hermann Hreidarsson (shoulder), Richard Wood (knee) and David Bell (knee) are out.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Hull have won 18 and Coventry 15 of their 42 competitive matches against each other over 92 years, with nine drawn.
• Former Manchester United midfielder Corry Evans scored the only goal in this season's league clash at the Ricoh Arena, to take Hull's unbeaten sequence against the Sky Blues to five; winning the last two.
• Coventry may have scored 50 goals all-time against Hull, but they have failed to find the net in each of their last four meetings.
Hull City
Use accessible player and disable flyout menus
• Just one win in 10 games has seen Hull lose their play-off place, and drop to ninth.
• They are eager to avoid a fourth successive league defeat - which would be their worst sequence under Nick Barmby.
• The Tigers only have 10 players on their Championship goalscorers list, having scored fewer goals by any club outside the bottom four (38). They have won eight games 1-0, and have participated in six goalless stalemates.
Coventry City
• Coventry are third bottom, one point from safety, having followed four successive draws with last Saturday's 2-0 victory over rock-bottom Portsmouth. The five-match stint is their longest unbeaten sequence of this league season.
• But only five of the Sky Blues' 35 points have come on their travels, and they only have four more opportunities to avoid going through the entire season without a win on the road.
• They are in danger of suffering their 500th defeat in second level league football.
