The Carabao Cup second round see's the visit of Hull City to the Keepmoat this Tuesday.

Striker Alfie May has made three consecutive appearances off the bench to score in all three appearances and Darren Ferguson has confirmed that he will start against Hull this Tuesday, but will it be at the expense of John Marquis or Liam Mandeville? My bet would be on Liam Mandeville being dropped, due to his goal drought compared to Marquis' two in two. Ferguson also hinted that the likes of Rodney Kongolo and Issam Ben Khemis could all come into contention to start on Tuesda,y but he also warned he wouldn't be making an abundance of changes ahead of this cup tie as he wants to win it - and he also believes that the game is winnable too.

The biggest attacking threat from Hull, Abel Hernandez, won't be in action on Tuesday due to injury and they could be without their star midfielder Sam Clucasm, due to him being close to joining a Premier League club.

The previous time these two teams met was actually n the League Cup in 2012 at the Keepmoat, when Rovers narrowly beat the Tigers 3-2 with a double from Dave Syers and Rob Jones with the third.

Predicted line-up vs Hull City
Lawlor; Mason, Wright, Butler, Andrew; Whiteman, Kongolo, Ben Khemis, Rowe; May and Marquis.
