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.

    Quite happy with 16 from first two players considering how many injuries I had this week. Have Rooney and Walcott on my bench and had to change to a 4-4-2 and use my 5th mid.

    Still have my WC available and no points hit though.

    Did anyone else resist the temptation of WC and refuse to take points hit as I would assume a large number of us had the same group of injured players.

    At one point this week I had Cabaye, Rooney, Walcott, Clyne, Boruc & Yaya injured.
