Hull City and Aston Villa have confirmed their starting line-ups for the Premier League match taking place at MKM Stadium.
Hull move into this fixture buoyed by a maximum six points after two matches, while Aston Villa are searching for their first points of the campaign and have yet to find the back of the net.
Hull City's starting lineup
Manager Sergey Yakirovich has opted for a five-defender formation.
Hull:
Dzakalis, Koyl, Ajayi, Egan, Mendi, Giles, Bellumi, Slater, Gurna-Duat, Stroud, McBurnie.
Leading the attack for the home side is Oliver McBurnie, supported by Mohamed Bellumi and Ryan Stroud.
Eyes will be on Ayub Gurna-Duat as he takes up a central role in midfield.
Aston Villa's starting lineup
Unai Emery has set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Aston Villa:
Suzuki, Cash, Lindelof, Mings, Mateus Maçaen, Kamara, Barkley, McGinn, Buendia, Hemmings, Jackson.
Nicholas Jackson gets the nod at the forefront of the attack, with the supporting trio of Hemmings, Buendia, and McGinn behind him.
At the heart of defence, Emery has entrusted Victor Lindelof and Tyrone Mings, while Zion Suzuki guards the goal.
Match build-up
Hull have started the season in impressive fashion, winning their first two matches without conceding. The Tigers now have a golden opportunity to clinch three consecutive victories upon their return to the Premier League.
In stark contrast, Aston Villa find themselves in a difficult position. The Birmingham outfit has lost to Brighton and Arsenal, failing to score even a single goal. Emery will be keen to halt this negative run as quickly as possible.
