Hull were drawn at home to Birmingham City,[19] with the match been played on 6 January 2024. Both teams made seven changes for the match. Lukas Jutkiewicz made early shots, one saved by Ryan Allsop while another just missed the target, before he headed the opener for Birmingham, 18-minutes into the match. Siriki Dembele nearly doubled the lead moments later when his shot hit the bar. Hull failed to reply, with Aaron Connolly having several attempts saved by Neil Etheridge. This was until Etheridge failed to collect one of Connolly's shots late in the game, which fell to debutant Matty Jacob who then scored from close-range.
