Marco Silva takes charge of his first Premier League match hoping for a miracle with his team bottom. Abel Hernández, last season’s top scorer, who has missed half of Hull’s league matches, is fit and the new arrival Oumar Niasse could also feature. Bournemouth will also have fresh legs, having rested their entire team for the embarrassing FA Cup defeat against Millwall. Simon Francis is suspended but Ryan Fraser has recovered from a calf injury. Paul MacInnes
