Premier League preview and odds: Hull City vs Manchester United

August 27 , 2016 15:00pm - KCOM Stadium

Premier League

Strong starters Hull City will be hoping to extend their winning streak to three games when title contenders Manchester United pay a visit to the KCOM Stadium on Saturday evening.

New boys looking to maintain perfection

Just a couple of weeks ago, Hull City were supposed to be a club in crisis. With no permanent manager and a lack of new signings, it was widely predicted that life back in the Premier League would be tough for the Yorkshire club. However, after beating title holders Leicester City 2-1 on the opening day and then following that up with a comfortable 2-0 away win at Swansea City, things are suddenly looking up for Mike Phelan`s men. The Tigers` boss will now lead his side out against his former club with a 100% win ratio to protect.

Manchester United have also gained maximum points from their opening two games, a feat only achieved by four teams in total (Chelsea and Manchester City being the other two). New boss Jose Mourinho has had a great start to his new role, having already bagged the Community Shield by beating Leicester City and with his club now sitting level on points with title favourites Manchester City, who they face next.

With that all-Manchester clash on the horizon, the Red Devils will be keen to maintain their winning habit and put themselves in a position where they can pull ahead of their rivals should they beat them in the derby.

Team news

Mike Phelan is currently coping without Michael Dawson, Moses Odubajo, Alex Bruce and Allan Mcgregor who are all out injured.

Betting odds and tips

Hull`s bright start may have come as a shock to many but their results were fully deserved after two impressive performances. As they proved against Leicester City, they have a very established and efficient team that is capable of scoring goals.

At a price of 9/5 Hull City are worth a punt in the Hull/Draw Double Chance market.
