Burnley V Hull - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.


New boy James Tarkowski could be involved for Burnley

Burnley could include new signing James Tarkowski in their squad for the home game against promotion rivals Hull.

Defender Tarkowski completed his protracted move from Brentford on Monday when he signed for an undisclosed fee.

Manager Sean Dyche has no major new injury or suspension worries as his side bid to extend their unbeaten league run to seven matches.

Midfielder Dean Marney (calf) has missed the last two games and will be monitored, while goalkeeper Paul Robinson is still waiting for his first appearance after twice being an unused substitute.

Nick Powell comes into contention for Hull manager Steve Bruce following his arrival from Manchester United.

The midfielder joined on deadline day but may have to settle for a place on the bench following a run of six consecutive wins in all competitions that leaves them top of the Sky Bet Championship and four points clear of their opponents.

Bruce has reassured Allan McGregor of his place in goal despite bringing in Dusan Kuciak to provide competition and he will come back in for Eldin Jakupovic.

Chuba Akpom is likely to retain his place in attack after hitting a hat-trick against Bury, but Abel Hernandez and Robert Snodgrass are two men who will return after being rested.
