Manchester United vs Hull: Live updates, plus what time does it start, what TV channel is it on and where can I watch it?

It’s a big game for…

Jose Mourinho. Having seen his side lose to Hull last week in the second leg of United’s EFL Cup semi-final, there’s no way the Portuguese will be taking this game lightly. Although defeat didn’t prove costly for the side, it brought to an end their 17-match unbeaten run – something the Portuguese bizarrely denied. He’ll be out for revenge against the Tigers after having his pride dented at the KCOM Stadium.

Remember when…

Wayne Rooney fired four past Hull? United comfortably swept aside the Tigers in January 2010 as the England international scored all four of the home side’s goals.

Player to watch…

Andrea Ranocchia. The defender joined Hull on loan from Inter Milan until the end of the season. Having struggled for a first-team place in recent months, Ranocchia now has the chance to get some minutes under his belt. He’s expected to be available for selection on Wednesday night and should he start, it’ll worth keeping an eye on the Italian to see how he copes being thrown right in at the deep end.

Key information…

Kick-off: Wednesday 1 February, 8.00pm, Old Trafford.

Around 20 minutes to go until kick off at the terribly-named London Stadium, perhaps the biggest talking point is that Sergio Aguero has been left out of the Man City starting line up, with new boy Gabriel Jesus getting the start ahead of him. At the other end of the pitch, Willy Caballero is also preferred to Claudio Bravo in the battle of the slightly unreliable South American keepers.

West Ham 0 Man City 0: Kick off minutes away, both sets of players out on the pitch now...

West Ham 0 Man City 0: And we're off... For fans of BT Sport's revolving door of dodgy co-commentators tonight sees arguably the pick of the bunch, Owen Hargreaves and his baffling accent.

West Ham 0 Man City 0: Scrappy start so far, but West Ham are the first side to cause their opponents some trouble, pumping the ball up to Andy Carroll who's header on finds its way to Antonio although he can only scuff off a fairly tame shot that is easily saved.
