Bolton Wanderers travel to the KC Stadium on Saturday as both teams look to kickstart their Championship campaigns.

Jay Spearing could make his Trotters debut following his season-long loan from Liverpool, while Joshua Vela (knee) and Benik Afobe (rib) face late fitness tests.

The home side could also feature a new face in Ahmed Elmohamady, who has signed on loan from Sunderland.

Tom Cairney is a doubt for the Tigers after picking up a knee injury in their 3-2 League Cup defeat to Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday.

Liam Rosenior and Robert Koren have both shaken off injury problems and will be vying for a place in the starting lineup.

Current form:

Hull: WLD
Bolton: LWD

Possible lineups:

Hull: Amos; Chester, Bruce, Faye, Rosenior; McKenna, Koren, Evans, Elmohamady; Aluko, Proschwitz

Bolton Bogdan; Mears, Mills, Knight, Ricketts; Lee, Spearing, M. Davies, Eagles; K Davies, Sordell

Sports Mole says: 1-2
