It’s a big game for…

Danny Drinkwater: The post-Iceland fallout and James Milner’s retirement has left an opening in England’s midfield. After being dropped from the Euros squad this summer in favour of more established players, Drinkwater will know his sophisticated passing could earn him a more stable place in Allardyce’s squad for the World Cup qualifiers.

Best stat…

Hull have failed to score against Leicester in 90 minutes in their last 4 meetings.

Remember when…

Hull showed they were still of Premier League pedigree as they knocked Leicester out of the League Cup last season in a tight match that went to penalties.

Player to watch…

Andrew Robertson: The left-back is a key figure in Hull’s currently barebones squad. Both Liverpool and West Ham have tried to throw him a rope but Hull are yet to budge and a string of impressive opening performances may still earn him a transfer before the window shuts.
