The Tigers came up against their second EFL Cup within a week knowing that victory was sending them to the knockout stages of the competition

Welcome to a Tuesday night under the lights of KCOM as Hull City hosts the Two Grimsby Town League at 5:30 pm.

These two geographic rivals have met for the first time in a competitive game since 1998, and both know that victory leads them to the last 32 of the Papa John’s Cup and is one step closer to a prominent day at Wembley in March..

Tonight’s match between the North and South Banks is pitted against each other for the first time this century, and while a lot has changed, both on and off the stadium, the desire to taste victory is no less..

You have to return to this same tournament and match in the 1997/98 season for the last time, where the two teams, the winners in town, met that evening with a 1-0 victory over Blundell Park thanks to Danny Butterfield first – half goal.

City entered the match in good shape, having won its last matches in the League and Cup 2-0, including beating Harrogate in this competition as it was a week earlier.. .

We’ll give you key reinforcements from KCOM followed by team news at 4:30 pm and all match events as the Tigers hope to secure a safe passage to the last stages, followed by a full-time response.

Both players are out on the field on a moderate evening and we have 10 minutes until kick-off.

Is Darren Drysdale. This will be his first match for City since the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at KCOM in November 2012. That was a championship match.

There were one or two good shows in Yorkshire at Harrogate a week ago, but no more than Martin Samuelson, and it will be interesting to see if he can back that up with another good show here tonight against the second-division competitor..

So, Grant McCann is making 11 team changes tonight to face Grimsby Town. Here’s the full story behind these changes.

Grant McCann picked his starting line-up with Grimsby early tonight (5:30 PM) – that’s what it looks like. .

While we’re there, a special reference to the FA Youth Cup tomorrow afternoon at KCOM. . .

He’s an amazing character, Ian Holloway, and here’s what the Grimsby boss said before kick-off this evening.

I look forward to the performance. I want to play for as many minutes as we have to play.

Hal is a good team. I don’t know if they’ll pick the same team, but their manager made some comments saying he wanted to win it – not just in this match but the whole thing..

It’ll be a good test for us and I’m really looking forward to it.

If City wins tonight, these are some of the opponents we could face in the Round of 32. . .

Fleetwood Town, Salford City or Manchester United U-21, Shrewsbury Town, Port Vale, Manchester City U-21 or Lincoln City, Oldham Athletic and Accrington Stanley. And you know it’s going to be Fleetwood. . .

Don’t be taken lightly this evening, according to Grant McCann, who said he stressed to players that the opportunity to perform at Wembley does not come often and that this competition offers a great opportunity to do so.. . . .

We want to go ahead with this competition so we’ll pick a good team to play against Grimsby.

You’ll provide more opportunities for others who haven’t played much this season – we’re back home again; We have to make sure we win these matches at home.

I think it’s a contest that splits people’s opinions. For me, it’s a chance to get minutes into players and it’s a chance to go far and reach the Final and end up at Wembley..

You said after the match at Harrogate, it doesn’t happen often that you get a chance to play at Wembley and I’ve been confirming that to the players..

I was lucky enough to play there twice, both in this competition and it’s a great competition.

We hope by then the fans will be back which is what we all hope and pray for.

An important point for us, but we don’t go into matches trying to get a point, we want to win the match and I’m sure Grimsby will say the same thing.. It’s an opportunity for them to step up the ad, and there’s obviously a cash reward accompanying it, too.

Anyway, I managed to sleep for about two hours last night and the little boy decided that getting up at 5:30 this morning was the way forward, so let’s get into the pre-match phase and see how we do about half six. . .

City know its victory tonight in the round of 32, and is one step closer to Wembley. And if you’ve listened to Grant McCann over the past two weeks, you’ll know the importance he places on these relationships, which is understandable.. I have to say, I have found a new respect for the competition now, and I see the opportunity it could offer for a club like this, with the extra money coupled with the opportunity for players to get valuable experience / minutes under their belt.. And who doesn’t want to spend a day outside at Wembley?

I dare say that if City reach the Final and let the fans in, there will be a healthy group of Tigers heading towards A1.

And welcome to tonight’s match live coverage. Come on, how many of you thought you’d participate in the Papa John’s Cup match excited to see the result?
