Bournemouth v Hull City: match preview

Bournemouth v Hull City
Bournemouth v Hull City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

After finally being given the full-time manager’s job on Thursday, Mike Phelan takes charge of Hull City on a permanent basis for the first time. It’s perhaps not one of the toughest trips at first glance, but Bournemouth are searching for a third straight home win in the Premier League. The on-loan Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who last played 90 minutes more than two years ago, is again likely to start behind the striker Callum Wilson, who is beginning to show glimpses of his best form.
