Swansea v Hull, Sat 13 Sept, 15:00
Here we go, the annoying two week International break is almost over and it will be back to league action in just a few days time.
The Tigers of Hull are the visitors and we have a bunch of new players to bed in, exciting times.
Many of them are on international duty with their respective countries and already we have one that has come back with an injury. Marko Stamenic has an adductor injury, ‘slight’ according to the New Zealand camp. No feedback from Swansea yet but it looks as if he is going to miss some games.
Regarding Hull, they have our ex-player leading the line, Ollie McBurnie, signed on a free transfer.
Hull are under a purchase transfer embargo and cannot buy players for two transfer windows due to EFL restrictions imposed on them after they made late payments to other clubs within a 12-month period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
Under new manager Sergei Jakirovic they have had a mediocre start to the season and are 17th in the table on 4 points, conceding 7 goals in their last 2 games.

Swans fans will be wondering how the team will line up on Saturday with the influx of 13 new players. Sheehan has had little time to work with them in training and it will take time for them all to settle in.
We now have quality cover for every position on the field, something that hass been lacking previously.
I am going for a 2-1 win.
