Striker Andy Cook could make his first start of the season after he came off the bench to score in their 3-2 defeat to Barrow at the weekend. Fellow striker Kian Harratt remains suspended.

Greg Docherty will not be available for Hull’s trip to Bradford. The midfielder missed out on Hull’s goalless draw with Preston due to a torn quad muscle and is expected to be missing for a lengthy period of time.

Left-back Callum Elder could come in for his first start of the season after coming off the bench for his last two appearances. Mallik Wilks has yet to play a minute this season and could also be involved at some point.

Coverage from The Yorkshire Post

Chief football writer Stuart Rayner will be at the University of Bradford Stadium this evening to provide live updates, match analysis, reaction from both camps and player ratings.
