Jakirovic has decisions to make for clash with blunt Blades

SERGEJ Jakirovic will almost certainly make changes to his Hull City starting side for today's Yorkshire derby against Sheffield United as he looks to seal victory going into the international break.

The Croatian boss brought back Kasey Palmer on Tuesday night against Preston at the expense of Joe Gelhardt, but the change in approach didn't pay off as City produced a limp first-half display to trail 2-0 at the break.

Jakirovic hauled off Palmer, Amir Hadziahmetovic and Cody Drameh at the interval, though, in truth, he could have made any raft of changes so poor were his side.
