Gerrard, cousin of England skipper Steven, agreed to a season-long loan at the KC Stadium at the start of the month and could go straight into Nigel Pearson's starting line-up.
Pearson could also be boosted by the return of Craig Fagan, yet to appear for the Tigers this season due to a hip injury, and defender Paul McShane, who has shaken off a hamstring strain.
But Caleb Folan must wait a little longer for his return from injury and neither Jimmy Bullard or Peter Halmosi are expected to be included in Pearson's squad.
Sheffield United have been linked with a loan move for winger Halmosi, while Bullard has not featured at all this season as the club look to off-load their biggest earner.
