Hull City 4 - 1 Watford

Hull v Watford: Preview

Updated: May 13, 2008, 11:22 AM ET

Hull boss Phil Brown will hand a late fitness test to midfielder Dean Marney ahead of the second leg of the Coca-Cola Championship play-off semi-final with Watford.

Marney missed the first leg due to a knee injury but is expected to return against the Hornets at the KC Stadium.

Experienced duo Jay-Jay Okocha and Henrik Pedersen are also pushing to be involved to leave Brown to ponder whether to chop and change the side which won 2-0 at Vicarage Road on Sunday.

"I haven't named the team yet,'' said Brown, who has no new injury problems to contend with.

"The players are very relaxed. They've had an 11 v 11 on the KC and we had a four-man overspill because there are 26 players fit and raring to go.

"It's a lovely headache I've got.''

Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd will have captain John Eustace available.

Eustace was sent-off after an altercation with Tigers skipper Ian Ashbee during Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Vicarage Road but has had his red card rescinded after an appeal to the Football Association.

Boothroyd will also be boosted by the return of top scorer Darius Henderson from suspension as he seeks only a second win in 16 games to complete a remarkable comeback.

Henderson's return will give Boothroyd a tactical dilemma after winger Tommy Smith excelled in a free role behind lone striker Nathan Ellington in the first leg. Steve Kabba remains out with his ankle injury.

Defender Danny Shittu is a serious doubt after he strained his hamstring against Hull so former captain Jay DeMerit is poised to return alongside Leigh Bromby.
