Hull Manager Jakirovic Reveals Key Lineup for Coventry City Match

Hull City will restore goalkeeper Ivor Pandur for Monday night’s home game against Coventry City at the MKM Stadium.

Manager Sergej Jakirovic confirmed the selection.

Coventry arrive aiming to move closer to promotion after a 3-2 win over Derby County on Good Friday.

Frank Lampard’s side have won eight of their last nine matches.

They hold a 12-point advantage over third-placed Middlesbrough.

Hull sit two places lower and four points behind in fifth following a failure to beat Oxford United.

Jakirovic selected Dillon Phillips for that match due to Pandur’s late return.

Goalkeeper situation

Pandur had returned from Croatian national duty less than 24 hours before the Oxford game.

He arrived on Thursday and experienced some jet lag.

With Pandur unavailable, Jakirovic handed Phillips his Championship debut against Oxford United.

Phillips performed well and showed he can be trusted when called upon.

Jakirovic told Filmogaz.com that the club has a clear first-choice keeper and a dependable deputy.

He praised Phillips as strong support and reiterated that Pandur remains the number one.

The manager confirmed Pandur will return to the starting XI for Monday’s fixture.

Match outlook

A Coventry victory would bring them closer to the Premier League after their recent run of form.

Hull will look for a positive response at home following the Oxford result.

Hull manager Jakirovic has revealed a key lineup shift ahead of the Coventry City match by restoring Pandur.

Dillon Phillips remains a reliable option for the Tigers if needed.
