Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Brentford at MKM Stadium (kick-off 14:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Jakirovic confirmed they have "more options" going into Sunday's game within the squad so there are likely to be "a few" changes to his starting XI.

• Defender Nobel Mendy is back on the grass and is expected to re-join team training on Monday.

• Following the defeat by Fulham, Jakirovic said they have "had all week to train and try to improve things".

• The Tigers boss added: "If you play this level without aggression, contact or trying to win the second balls, then you will create problems and that happened. We must be braver on Sunday."

• He insisted they "must show a reaction" now against Brentford and "fight for every inch of the pitch" because it was the "attitude" and "fight" that was missing against Fulham.

• On opponents Brentford: "They are a big challenge for us. I've watched almost every game, and they have everything for this level. They have height, intensity and speed. They play on the front foot. It will be an interesting game."
