Pearson has options

Striker Aaron Mclean was replaced by Nick Barmby in the second half of the goalless draw with QPR as a precaution after taking a knock, but is unlikely to miss out, while latest signing Tijani Belaid is hoping to make his first appearance as he was an unused substitute on Saturday.

Ian Ashbee has left the club to join Preston but veteran Nolberto Solano could return following a thigh problem, while striker Caleb Folan (knee), goalkeeper Vito Mannone (groin) and winger Richard Garcia (knee) remain sidelined.

Hull have lost only one of their last 13 league matches and could climb to within four points of the play-offs with victory.
