Per Mertesacker v Yannick Sagbo
Hull have their two first-choice strikers, Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long, cup-tied, meaning the powerful African Yannick Sagbo will likely be given the lone striker role. Sago is immensely powerful, can hold the ball up, and is good in the air – but this plays right into the hands of his giant German opponent Mertesacker. If Sago ban have the game of his life, and unsettle his opposing centre-back, Hull will have a greater chance of an unexpected victory.
