Today's early season matchup sees the seventh placed team in the division take on the eighth, and if there is a winner, that side could potentially go third with the right results. When these two teams met last May, Villa won 3-1, but Hull had already secured safety and were thinking about the FA Cup Final. That won't be the case today, so expect a closer game.
Lineups:
Aston Villa: Brad Guzan; Alan Hutton, Ron Vlaar, Philippe Senderos, Aly Cissokho; Fabian Delph, Ashley Westwood; Charles N'Zogbia, Kieran Richardson, Andi Weimann; Gabby Agbonlahor
Subs from: Shay Given, Nathan Baker, Leandro Bacuna, Joe Cole, Darren Bent, Carlos Sanchez, Jack Grealish
Hull City: Allan McGregor; Paul McShane, Michael Dawson, Curtis Davies; Ahmed Elmohamady, Jake Livermore, Steven Quinn, Andrew Robertson, Tom Huddlestone, Nikica Jelavić, Tom Ince.
Subs from: Steve Harper, Liam Rosenior, Alex Bruce, Sone Aluko, Sagbo, David Meyler, Robbie Brady.
