Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the KC Stadium where Hull City face Manchester United.

The Tigers have defied the odds to win their opening two league games, and they still have just fourteen senior players available for selection with the transfer window set to slam shut on Wednesday.

They followed their opening day victory over champions Leicester City with a 2-0 win at Swansea City last weekend while they also knocked Exeter City out of the League Cup on Tuesday evening.

Harry Maguire is in contention after recovering from an ankle injury though caretaker manager Mike Phealan may be reluctant to change a winning side.

Abel Hernandez can be backed at 11.0 (10/1) to open the scoring ahead of Robert Snodgrass can is a 19.0 (18/1) chance with Bet Victor.

The home win is priced as 9.0 (8/1) with Bet Victor with the visitors favourites at 1.48 (10/21) with Ladbrokes. The draw is 4.60 (18/5) with Betfred.

Like their opponents, United have won their first two league games of the season and sit above them in second place on goal difference.

They beat Southampton last time out, five days after taking the points from fellow south-coast side Bournemouth.

Jose Mourinho could also name an unchanged side though Jesse Lingard could make his first league appearance of the season after shaking off a knock he picked up in the Community Shield win over Leicester City.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has hit the ground running with four goals in three appearances for the Red Devils, is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.33 (10/3) with William Hill with Wayne Rooney a 7.0 (6/1) chance with the same firm.

Manchester United have kept cleans sheets in their last two games against Hull so you may be tempted to back them to do so this time around at 1.91 (10/11) with Paddy Power.

Alternatively, as the four meetings prior to those two matches saw at least three or more goals you may prefer to bet on over 2.5 here at 1.95 (19/20) with a variety of firms.
