match preview
Hull City v West Ham United
theguardian
Hull City have an improved attacking lineup after signing Hatem Ben Arfa, who starts, on loan and Abel Hernández for a club record fee of £10 million. Steve Bruce will be looking to repeat his side's 1-0 home victory last season over West Ham who also start a new loan signing in Alex Song. Sam Allardyce will want Song to recreate the performances that led Barcelona to sign him from Arsenal in 2012. Graham Searles
