Mike Phelan: Minimal lineup changes coming for Hull City in cup tie

Caretaker boss Mike Phelan plans to keep Hull's momentum going in the EFL Cup at Exeter by keeping changes to a minimum.

Phelan accepts he has little room for manoeuvre in Devon with only the return of Harry Maguire possibly adding to the 13 senior players he had available for Saturday's 2-0 win at Swansea.

But Phelan says he does not want to upset the rhythm that the Tigers have established by winning their opening two Premier League games since promotion.

"Everybody's going to Exeter," said Phelan. "I think it's important as we're in a bit of a groove that they all keep this momentum of togetherness.
