McBurnie or Joseph - who should Jakirovic select?

Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic says that striker Oli McBurnie is ready to join the starting XI, but his selection will depend on tactics.

The former Scotland international started nine of the Tigers' opening 10 Championship games before missing the next eight with a calf injury and has been slowly making his comeback from the bench in the past two games.

However, fellow forward Kyle Joseph has found his form, scoring three goals across those matches to give Jakirovic a selection headache up front.

"He's [McBurnie] in good shape and everything is good," Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside.
