Hull City v Cardiff City Barclays Premier League Venue: KC Stadium Date: Saturday, 14 August Hull City 01 McGregor 03 Figueroa 05 Chester 06 Davies 27 Elmohamady 08 Huddlestone 10 Koren 11 Brady 14 Livermore 09 Graham 24 Aluko 16 Jakupovic 02 Rosenior 04 Bruce 15 McShane 07 Meyler 17 Boyd 29 Quinn Cardiff City 32 Lewis 03 Taylor 04 Caulker 06 Turner Booked 28 Theophile-Catherine 07 Whittingham 08 Medel 13 Kim Bo-Kyung (Maynard - 46') 17 Gunnarsson 19 Cowie 10 Campbell Booked 33 Moore 05 Hudson 16 Noone 18 Mutch 11 Odemwingie 15 Gestede 23 Maynard Former Newcastle keeper Steve Harper is in line to replace Hull injury worry Allan McGregor, who has a groin injury. The Tigers are again without suspended striker Yannick Sagbo while deadline-day signing Gedo has yet to receive his visa. Cardiff could give a debut to new signing Peter Odemwingie, but they also have a goalkeeping headache. David Marshall injured his hip playing for Scotland midweek leaving Joe Lewis poised for a Premier League debut. This clash will have to go some to match the drama of their last meeting - the 2-2 draw that secured Hull's last-gasp promotion to the Premier League . Cardiff were able to bask in the glory of their already-confirmed Championship title in May. There'll be no such relaxation on Saturday with both sides no doubt fancying a crucial three points at the KC Stadium. Two weeks ago, I commentated for Irish television on Cardiff's goalless draw against Everton, which took Malky Mackay's side onto four points from their opening three games of the season. It wasn't a classic by any means, but the manner of the win over Manchester City in their previous match isn't going to happen every week. Hull have scored only one goal in their three Premier League matches so far, but the quality of their performance at Manchester City last time out has been noted by many. Both have been busy in strengthening their squad - Hull with 11 signings and Cardiff eight. I've seen a lot of Cardiff's record signing Gary Medel playing for Chile, and he seems to have settled quickly to life in the Premier League. His encounter with Hull's Tom Huddlestone may well be the key to the result. Fraizer Campbell, after his excellent start to the season, will be sure to keep the Hull defence on full alert. Saturday's clash could yet be defined by the respective goalkeepers with Hull's Steve Harper, and Cardiff's Joe Lewis, on standby to deputise for Allan McGregor and David Marshall respectively. It's been quite a week for Harper. The former Newcastle man, 20 years at St James' Park before his summer move to Hull, had a testimonial on Wednesday night with all the proceeds going to different charities in the north-east. If McGregor is ruled out, Harper will not want for an incentive to be at his best - Hull travel to St James' next weekend. Head-to-head Cardiff have won four of their last seven games against Hull. However, the Bluebirds have claimed victory in just one of their previous seven away games against the Tigers (a 2-0 win in February 2011). The sides met on the final day of the 2012-13 season, when a 2-2 draw ultimately ensured Hull claimed the second automatic promotion spot behind Championship winners Cardiff. Including last season, Hull have failed to score in five of their previous seven league games (W1, D2, L4). The Tigers are looking to win back-to-back home games in the top flight for the first time. They have won two of their last 16 Premier League games (W2, D3, L11). The Bluebirds have drawn seven of their last 10 league games. Having drawn 0-0 with Everton last time out, they have the chance to record back-to-back clean sheets in the top flight for the first time since April 1957. The Bluebirds kept 18 clean sheets last season - the most in the Championship, ahead of Brighton (17) and Hull (16).
