Team News: Davide Somma starts Leeds United

Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has handed Davide Somma his first start since April 2011 in one of five changes for this afternoon's trip to Hull City.

Ross McCormack also comes in to partner Somma, with top scorer Luciano Becchio dropped following the Boxing Day defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Jason Pearce, Aidan White and David Norris also get the nod in an unfamiliar Leeds lineup.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce makes one change, opting to start on-loan midfielder David Meyler ahead of Jay Simpson.

Hull: Jakupovic, Chester, Hobbs, Evans, Koren, Faye, Aluko, Elmohamady, Quinn, Brady, Meyler

Leeds: Kenny, Byram, Tate, Lees, Pearce, White, Green, Brown, Norris, McCormack, Somma
