Hull boss Phil Brown could be handed a trio of injury boosts ahead of Sunday's crucial trip to Ipswich.Brown is currently sweating on the fitness of defender Andy Dawson (foot) and attacking duo Dean Windass and Henrik Pedersen (both calf), but is hopeful of having a strong squad at his disposal at Portman Road.

The Tigers know anything less than victory will consign them to the play-offs while a win and defeat for Stoke would seal automatic promotion by virtue of a superior goal difference.

"Sunday is a big game and understandably, everyone is desperate to play," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail.

"We will know more closer to the weekend but, remarkably, we could yet have a fully-fit squad."
