In the first ever Premier League meeting between the two sides, Swansea will be looking to build upon Wednesday night’s impressive 3-0 win over in-form Newcastle whereas Hull need to regroup and go again after being sweep aside by Arsenal.

The Liberty Stadium hasn’t quite been the fortress of previous years but Hull’s woeful away form this season should lead to a home win for the Welsh side. Hull have lost all but one of their 7 away games this year and Swansea have found the net on a regular basis in front of their home fans.
