Hull have recovered well this month after a dreadful January in which they took only three points from a possible 12. Wins over Aston Villa and QPR and a draw at Manchester City have lifted Hull to 15th but Steve Bruce is under no illusions and has warned his players they remain in a “horrible dogfight”. Stoke welcome back Geoff Cameron after a ban but are still missing Ryan Shawcross. Rich Flower
