United made three changes to their starting line-up ahead of the visit of Hull City in the first Humber derby for more than three years.

Matt Sparrow returned from a leg injury to replace the suspended Jim Goodwin in the centre of midfield, while Jonathan Forte came into the side for striker Martin Paterson, who had just returned from international duty with Northern Ireland a day earlier.

The third change saw Marcus Williams come into the team in place of Cleveland Taylor. He was chosen on the left-hand side of midfield, with Kevan Hurst reverting to the right.

Shaleum Logan was set to make his home debut at right-back while Tomi Ameobi was named on the substitutes bench for his first game since joining on loan from Leeds United.

Former Iron left-back Andy Dawson lined up on the bench for the Tigers.

Scunthorpe United: Murphy, Logan, Crosby, Butler, Youga, Hurst, Sparrow, Cork, Williams, Hayes, Forte
