Hull striker Fagan not seeking revenge on Newcastle's Guthrie

Hull City striker Craig Fagan insists he's not out for revenge against Newcastle midfielder Danny Guthrie in their FA Cup clash.

Fagan is set to make his first start since having his leg broken by Guthrie in a horror tackle in September when the sides meet in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

Fagan spent three months on the sidelines after the incident at St James' Park before returning with two substitute appearances against Manchester City and Aston Villa over Christmas.

With manager Phil Brown now poised to make changes for the cup tie at the KC Stadium, Fagan is likely to start - but the 26-year-old insists there will be no hard feelings if he comes up against Guthrie.

Fagan said: "It happened, there is nothing I can do about it now.

"There is no point me going out there to do the same, it is not going to benefit me in any way.

"I just want to get back to the form of before I was injured.

"I know our fans won't give him the best of times but I just want to concentrate on my game."
