Aston Villa v Hull City

Aston Villa v Hull City: match preview

After picking up four points from their opening two games, it has been a few days to forget for Aston Villa and Hull. Villa were defeated by lower-league opponents yet again, when they lost to Leyton Orient in the Capital One Cup, while Hull’s European campaign came to an abrupt end after losing on away goals. Villa badly need some firepower, after registering only one shot on goal in the league so far. As for Hull, Michael Dawson, newly signed from Tottenham, should make his debut. Stuart James
