Hull host United in a lively lunchtime clash

The MKM Stadium will be rocking as Hull City return to the top flight. United have reshuffled parts of their midfield and shown inconsistent form in pre-season — exactly the sort of match in which they have thrown away points before.

  • Hull play direct football and compete for second balls.
  • United are vulnerable to crosses from deep positions.
  • An early kick-off and packed stands favour the home side.
