    Like last season a thread to keep track of the various cups European and Domestic relevant to EPL - teams, scorers etc.

    Hull play their 2nd leg tonight of a Europa League qualifier, its at home and 0-0 after the first leg against AC Trencin of Slovakia. Pretty important a if Hull dont get through to the group stage of the EL it will massively reduce the rotation risk of some players. Interestingly the line up does not contain Jelavic for the second week in a row (he got 5 mins at the end of the first leg), and Robbie Brady (remember him) starts

    Hull City Starting XI: McGregor, Bruce, Chester, Davies, Elmohamady, Brady, Huddlestone, Snodgrass, Livermore, Sagbo, Long

    I can see that being the starting team with Jelavic in for Sagbo.

    Bruce said last week that he was reluctant to play Jelavic or Figueroa straight away due to their World Cup excursions. They obviously also missed Hull's pre-season trip to Portugal too.

    I'd be very cautious of Jelavic at the beginning as I reckon Bruce will ease him back.

    I was looking more towards Fletcher now to be honest. That doesn't look a great idea either.

    Could be Bojan yet! I still think he could be Hughes' next Benni or Roque. He may have flopped at some top clubs but he at least featured for them which is more than the other 6 mil strikers.

    Hull 1-0 down in the first few mins, rotation could be a much lower factor for them yet...

    I'd prefer to see them out of it. I'm sure Bruce may secretly feel the same after seeing how other clubs have struggled in recent years.

    It never seemed to trouble Hughes too much at Blackburn in the past when we went out in the first round.

    Looks like Bruce is a runner for the 4m defence filler list.

    Ramsey sent off for a second yellow. Does that make him more or less likely to get a brace against Everton? :P

    Excellent! Hoping for something from him this weekend!

    Edit: Also interesting that Rose is on the bench and Davies plays - you would assume Rose will hold his place for the weekend then...

    Lamela on the bench too.

    for those who took a punt on him, i'd say he'll now start at the weekend again.

    Of more relevance from this game is if Spurs lose. If they do, you would imagine they'll put out a more or less full-strength side for the return leg this day next week, less than 3 days before they face Liverpool

    Lamela was superb for his 20 minutes this evening.

    2 assists and could've scored 2 himself.
