Hull City v Aston Villa rounds off the day’s Premier League action.
Kick-off on Humberside is at 17:30 BST.
If you’d said before the start of the season that one of these teams would be boasting a 100% record and two clean sheets after Gameweek 2, and the other would be pointless and goalless, most of us would have thought the hosts would be languishing at the foot of the Premier League table.
Instead, a three-goal win tonight moves the Tigers to the top of the division. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves…
TEAM NEWS
It’s one change apiece at the MKM Stadium.
Hull’s Sergej Jakirovic makes one alteration in midfield, bringing in one summer signing, Lucas Gourna-Douath, for another, Hidemasa Morita.
Deadline-day captures Christos Mouzakitis, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Robinio Vaz and Sorba Thomas are all on the bench.
And, as happened in Gameweek 2, all of Hull’s first-choice bargain-bin defenders shrug off knocks and niggles to start.
Unai Emery’s only tweak sees Tyrone Mings come in for Pau Torres at centre-back.
One of Villa’s own deadline-day signings, Ibrahim Mbaye, is among the substitutes.
£4.5m midfielder George Hemmings starts again.
