Hull team-mates Corry Evans and Robert Koren will cross swords when Northern Ireland take on Euro 2012 rivals Slovenia in Belfast. Evans, 20, who arrived on loan from Manchester United in January, will clash head-on with fellow Tigers midfielder Koren in Tuesday's Group C qualifier at Windsor Park. Both players played the full 90 minutes for their respective countries on Saturday. Evans played alongside brother Jonny in Northern Ireland's 2-1 defeat in Serbia, while Koren featured in Slovenia's 1-0 reverse against Italy. Meanwhile, Hull midfielder Kevin Kilbane, currently on loan at Huddersfield, was also in international action over the weekend as the Republic of Ireland beat Macedionia 2-1 in Dublin. Kilbane played the full 90 minutes and was back in Huddersfield in time to make the substitutes' bench for their 3-0 win over Notts County on Sunday.
