Hull City are in the Potteries this evening to take on Stoke City as they continue to search for their first win of the league season after five games.

The Tigers were beaten by Sheffield United a week ago and will be hoping for a better outcome tonight when they take on a Potters side heading into a new era following Monday's sacking of Steven Schumacher.

Schumacher was dismissed after their loss at Oxford United and his been replaced by Norwich City first team coach Narcis Pelach, this his first game in charge.

One to go

City are heading towards victory. What a turnaround.

CHANGE

He replaces Bedia.

95 gone

Four more to go and here comes Mason Burstow.

CHANCE for the hosts

Shot dragged well wide and that eats up more time.

Stoke

Pushing for a way back into it, but nothing feels likely at this stage.

90 minutes played

There will be a minimum of NINE minutes added on here at the bet365 Stadium.

Over the bar

Chance gone, City lead 3-1 and we're almost at 90.

BOOKING

Millar for a pull of the shirt outside the Tigers box, dangerous free-kick.

City voices

Are being heard loud and clear in the far corner.

Lots more red seats

So many left after the third goal and even more are going now.

87 on the clock

City looking in control, for now.

BOOKING

For Pandur for taking an age over a free-kick.

83 - CHANGE

Palmer replaced by Fin Burns.

What a turnaround

Palmer squeezes the ball in from an impossible angle and that's 3-1 City.

GOAL 1-3 CITY

PALMER

Close

Slater close again inside the box.

What a strike

Millar wins it, feeds Slater who takes his time and then lashes into the back of the net.

GOAL CITY

REGAN!!

Back underway

Vik is OK to play on and off we go.

The big Tigers moment

The goalkeeper

Is down after colliding with Bedia, and I sense you'd know about it if you did that.

CHANCE

City work it well to Drameh who guides a shot just wide from the edge of the box.

69 minutes

Without troubling the goalkeeper before that, City had been pushing and as I've said, Millar's arrival has given the Tigers a real threat down that side.
