Manchester United and Hull City are playing live on the English Premier League schedule on Saturday and the game from Old Trafford is on the NBC Sports Network and the NBCSN Live Extra website starting at 10 am ET as the Red Devils get into action at home and Man United will be looking to keep things going as they try and move up the EPL table.
Manchester United may have Radamel Falcao and Marcos Rojo back in the lineup and that would be big for Louis Van Gaal as he tries to get another win. The team may have Jonny Evans on the side along with Phil Jones and Luke Shaw and they come in against a Hull team that is not playing very well. This would be the first win over Manchester United in many years for the team and Hull is looking to get the upset.
Man United has won all the Premier League meetings against the team and with this being at Old Trafford, it's likely that will happen again. The last win was back in division two and came back in 1974 and that gives Man United a boost on Saturday, especially with the fact they have scored three or more goals in five of six EPL games against the team. Robin van Persie has been scuffling and he did not look great in the match against Arsenal.
Van Gaal said that Robin van Persie needs a bit of a bounce back and that is why he was subbed in the Arsenal game and he could be out again on Saturday. Van Persie has three goals in 11 games this season and James Wilson could be getting a look eventually and Falcao coming back may also contribute to the moves. Falcao is back from an injury and he had a winner against Everton, but he has not done all that much this season for Man United and is looking for a bounce back.
Man United won away against Arsenal and before that they won against Crystal Palace and before that game they lost against Man City. The team pulled a draw with Chelsea at home and they also had a draw with West Brom before that and a win against Everton. Coming up with Hull City are matches with Southampton, Liverpool, Aston Villa as well as Tottenham and those could give the team the chance to keep moving up the table.
The team has not lost at home since the opening match of the season and Wayne Rooney comes in with seven goals in his last eight games. Rooney has six goals in four matches against Hull, while United has lost just once in the last seven and that has put them near the top part of the English Premier League table, with Chelsea leading the way.
