Hull are hoping midfield trio Seyi Olofinjana, Geovanni and Dean Marney could all make a return against Arsenal.
Olofinjana has been back in training following his ankle problem while Geovanni (knee) and Marney (calf) have also stepped up their fitness levels in the week as they hope to feature at some point against Arsene Wenger's title-chasing Gunners.
However, Ian Ashbee (knee ligament) and Anthony Gardner (ankle) are still some way off a return to the side while Jimmy Bullard and Nick Barmby could be ruled out if reports of a public bust-up between the pair prove to be accurate.
