Swansea City Preview – Can the Swans pick up a massive three points?
Russell Martin left MK Dons to take over at Swansea City before the season started, but the 35-year-old has had a tough start so far. The Swans have begun with three defeats from their opening five Championship matches.
After taking just one point from games against Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United and Stoke City, Swansea secured a much-needed win over Bristol City at Ashton Gate in game four. However, before the break, the Welsh side lost 3-1 to Preston North End at Deepdale.
Swansea hover just above the drop zone after collecting a mere four points from 15 on offer. They are back at home after two tricky away games – can Martin pick up first home victory on Saturday?
Hull City Preview – Tigers to return from Wales with a positive result?
Grant McCann’s Hull City romped their way to the EFL League One title last season. Staying in the Championship will be the club’s main ambition, but the Tigers have had a tough start. Like Swansea, Hull have taken just four points from their opening five games.
Hull stopped a run of four straight league and cup defeats with a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth at the MKM Stadium before the international break. Prior to that, the Tigers had lost to Wigan Athletic in the EFL Cup before successive league defeats to Queens Park Rangers, Derby County and Fulham.

This will undoubtedly be a tough assignment for McCann and his men, but they were strong on the road in last season’s third tier and are more than capable of upsetting the Swans at the Swansea.com Stadium this Saturday.
