Hull City v Stoke City 
Hull have suffered a big blow this week with the loss of summer signing Robert Snodgrass to a long-term injury. The Tigers are working to bring in £12m Jordan Rhodes to bolster their attack but will be short for the visit of Stoke.
The Potters made some headline attacking signings of their own this summer and Mark Hughes will be hoping Bojan and Mame Biram Diouf do not draw another blank after an opening-day defeat to Aston Villa.
Hull won on the opening day, 1-0 at QPR, but were defeated 1-0 by Lokeren in their midweek Europa League play-off first leg to lose some momentum.
Hull manager Steve Bruce is expected to make wholesale changes. The Tigers side beaten by Lokeren in Thursday's Europa League play-off first leg included just two of the starting XI which beat QPR on the opening day of the Premier League season and Bruce will shuffle his pack again. Yannick Sagbo serves the second and final game of a domestic ban, while Robert Snodgrass (knee) is a long-term absentee.
Stoke will be without Stephen Ireland for Sunday's at the KC Stadium after the midfielder sustained a chest injury in training. Potters boss Mark Hughes revealed that Ireland has pulled a muscle in his rib cage and looks set to be out for "a couple of weeks at least", but he is confident defender Robert Huth will overcome a slight knee problem to be available. The manager is weighing up whether it will be too soon, given his lack of game time in pre-season, to hand forward Victor Moses his Potters debut following his loan move from Chelsea, while defender Geoff Cameron and striker Peter Odemwingie, who both played at the World Cup, are poised to come into the squad after sitting out last week's campaign-opening loss to Aston Villa.
