Team News: Hull City unchanged, Sam Hutchinson recalled for Sheffield Wednesday

Hull unchanged, Hutchinson starts for Owls

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has named an unchanged side from their semi-final win over Derby County, while Sam Hutchinson has been recalled for Sheffield Wednesday in this afternoon's Championship playoff final at Wembley.

Goalkeeper Allan McGregor once again sits out for Hull as he has been struggling with a back problem, which forced him out of both legs against Derby.

As expected, Eldin Jakupovic has kept his place in goal for the Tigers, with Dusan Kuciak on the bench as backup if required.

With regards to the Owls' selection, head coach Carlos Carvalhal has made just the one change from his side that overcame Brighton & Hove Albion in the semi-finals.

Hutchinson comes into the midfield to replace Alex Lopez, who has to settle for a spot on the bench.

Hull City: Jakupovic; Odubajo, Dawson, Davies, Robertson; Huddlestone, Livermore; Elmohamady, Diame, Snodgrass; Hernandez Subs: Kuciak, Bruce, Maguire, Meyler, Maloney, Clucas, Akpom

Sheffield Wednesday: Westwood; Hunt, Lees, Loovens, Pudil; Wallace, Lee; Hutchinson, Bannan, Forestieri; Hooper Subs: Wildsmith, Matias, Nuhiu, Helan, Joao, Lopez, Sasso
