The opening day brought welcome victories for both clubs – unexpectedly so in the case of Hull, who have not added to their threadbare squad since beating Leicester and remain without a permanent manager. Gylfi Sigurdsson, who came off the bench at Burnley, could start for Swansea. Borja Baston, Swansea’s club-record signing, has been ruled out with a thigh injury, Neil Taylor is being given more time to recover from Euro 2016 and Leon Britton has been laid low with illness this week.
