Saturday serves up no fewer than seven Premier League encounters, beginning at the KC Stadium where a resolute Hull City host Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea.

Proceedings continue with five three-o’clock encounters, before United’s tumultuous campaign continues with a re-acquaintance with their recent FA Cup slayers, Swansea.

For now, our attention is drawn to Humberside, where the likes of Eden Hazard and Oscar will carry our hopes against a Hull outfit that has been miserly on their own turf.

With just six goals conceded, no defence has put up a stronger barrier than Steve Bruce’s well-drilled backline at home – suggesting that Mourinho’s men will face a challenge in our early kick-off. The aforementioned Hazard and Oscar combination has so far conjured six goals on its travels and the burden is likely to be on the two playmakers over the next 90 minutes.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news, while our Duguout Discussion chatroom has opened up to cater for your real-time requirements for this game and all of today’s matches.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I'm pretty sure he is not joining until the summer.

      At Celtic he was very quick and skillful but his end product was lacking, Much like McManaman for Liverpool.

      I'm sure he would have improved since leaving us and Everton will have got a good player for nothing.

      Make the 3.9 keeper Davis, so if Boruc is out you'd have a playing GK. And maybe change Colback to Noone? Could be great value for 4.3 if he's nailed on.

      Yes, it's not optimal. When a defender get an assist + CS he is very overpowered. I think it's impressive with goal + CS from defender, but like Cole today for example is overpowered, and strikers/midfielders need like a couple of goals to go past him.
