Match Preview
| The final match of the opening round sees Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce visiting his former employer Hull City. |
| Hull have endured a frustrating pre-season, losing leadership in Michael Dawson and Allan McGregor, while picking up very few transfers along the way due to financial constraints. |
| With some difficult games against Derby and Stoke to contend with early on, some favourable results could kickstart what is expected to be a difficult campaign for Nigel Adkins’ troops. |
| Steve Bruce commences his 40th season in professional football despite pre-season rumours of Thierry Henry moving in to take the helm. |
| Bruce received a vote of confidence from Villa’s new billionaire owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Eden – a decision which was widely applauded. |
| With Bruce staying and an injection of at least £35 million into the coffers, it appears that Villa may have escaped the off-field disaster feared by many. |
| Some key losses during the transfer period were inevitable, but Villa are likely to be a poorer side without the likes of Jack Grealish and Robert Snodgrass. |
| Players to watch: While many eyes will be on Jarred Bowen (Hull) as the club’s top goalscorer from 2017/18, 21-year-old centre back Reece Burke is a fine addition from West Ham with a wealth of potential. |
| James Chester (Villa) appeared on his way out but the backing of Bruce convinced the star defender to snub an offer from Stoke City. His presence is a major boost to their aspirations. |
| Stat attack: The last three matches between Hull City and Aston Villa have all seen under 2.5 total goals. |
| The last seven games at Hull between the sides have all seen just one side score. |
| Hull have won just one and drawn three of 11 clashes with Aston Villa – including two draws in the Championship. |
| Hull won just three of their last 12 home matches in the 2017/18 season. |
