Hull City – Manchester United

1. Live updates will appear here from 1545GMT.

2. Hello and welcome to the live commentary for the Premier League clash between Hull and Manchester United at the KC Stadium.

3. Gull have left Barmby and Geovanni on the bench, with Altidore and Fagan leading the attack and Olofinjana and Boateng giving them a fairly defensive midfield pairing.

4. United benefit from the return of several defenders and call on a recognised back four for the match.

5. Hull: Myhill, Mendy, Gardner, Zayatte, Dawson, Garcia, Boateng, Olofinjana, Hunt, Altidore, Fagan. Subs: Duke, Barmby, Geovanni, Kilbane, Ghilas, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Cairney.

6. United: Kuszczak, Rafael, Vidic, Brown, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Fletcher, Giggs, Berbatov, Rooney. Subs: Foster, Owen, Park, Welbeck, Fabio, Obertan, De Laet.

7. Hull need a win today if they are to escape the relegation zone, while United have slipped behind Arsenal and are now five behind Chelsea. Victory today would put United two points ahead of Arsenal but having played an extra game.

8. 1'

   Manchester United get the match underway!

9. 1'

   United start well and Giggs puts the ball into the area for Berbatov, but he's just out-jumped.

10. 3'

    Garcia nearly finds his way beyond the defence, but the ball just doesn't quite bounce for him.

    Valencia looks to put in a cross but it's blocked by Dawson.

12. 4'

    Altidore wins a free-kick just inside the United half.

13. 5'

    Vidic heads away and the ball then goes out of play for a goal kick.

14. 6'

    Valencia fires a cross for Giggs at the far post but the veteran can't quite hook it back on target and it's on the roof of the net for a goal kick.

15. 8'

    Berbatov fouls Boateng inside the centre circle and Hull look to hit it long.

16. 9'

    Dawson lobs it all the way out for a goal kick.

18. 10'

    Hunt puts it in but it's a poor free-kick and United break.

19. 10'

    Rooney goes it alone and his cross/shot fails to cause any difficulties for Hull.

    Rooney sends a ball into Berbatov's path, but Myhill is alert and clears the danger well.

22. 14'

    Brown looks for a through-ball but it's straight through to Myhill.

    Boateng is penalised for a foul on Carrick. United could shoot from here.

24. 15'

    Giggs curls it in but Zayatte heads it away.

25. 15'

    Berbatov finds Rooney in the box but he's crowded out and loses possession.

26. 16'

    Zayatte brings down Rooney right on the edge of the area. That could have easily been a penalty, but it could be a dangerous free-kick.

27. 17'

    Giggs curls it just wide! Rooney steps over it and Giggs goes around the wall and fails to get it back inside the post by a matter of inches. Great effort.

28. 17'

    Hunt has an effort for Hull, but United break away.

29. 18'

    Hunt uses his skill to make space and volley in a cross, but it's headed clear.

31. 21'

    Alan Wiley says no penalty as Vidic makes a risky challenge in the area!

32. 21'

34. 24'

    Evra clears a cross twice before looking to release Berbatov, but it's out of play.

35. 24'

    Rooney forces a fingertip save from Myhill! Rooney may have been offside earlier in the move, but he had plenty of room to line up a shot on goal.

36. 25'

    Giggs gets two chances to cross, first from the corner and then when it comes back to him, but he fails to take advantage and Hull break.

37. 26'

    Rooney looks for the one-two with Giggs, but the veteran is sloppy in returning the pass.

38. 28'

    Olofinjana forces a save from the keeper! Garcia does brilliantly at the start of the move and Olofinjana was presented with the chance to fire on goal from inside the area, but Kuszczak did well!

39. 30'

    Rooney uses his strength to hold off the defender before turning and chipping a cross into the centre, but Myhill punches away well.

40. 31'

    Vidic concedes a free-kick, knocking over Fagan, and the United defender sarcastically applauds the ref but escapes a booking.

44. 36'

    Hull don't appear to be fearful of United here and are breaking forwards at every opportunity.

    Brown concedes a free-kick in the Hull half. It's lumped forwards but goes out for a Hull throw-in.

46. 38'

    Olofinjana attempts an ambitious effort that never looks like troubling Kuszczak.

47. 39'

    Hunt sends the ball just wide of the post! Carrick is blocked off looking for a one-two with Rooney but, as nothing is given, Hull come very close to taking advantage.

48. 40'

    Berbatov hits the side netting at the other end! Valencia feeds him in down the right, but the angle is too tight.

49. 42'

    Altidore sees a shot blocked from outside the area.

50. 42'

    Rafael goes clean through but Myhill makes the save! The Hull defence appeared to think he was offside. Disappointing finish from the defender.

51. 44'

    Garcia misses the target with a wild shot just outside the D.

52. 45'

    Hull put another deep free-kick into the box, but United clear and break down the other end. Zayatte tracks back and puts it out for a corner as Valencia lets him in.

    Brown makes a fine interception to stop Hull in their tracks.

67. 53'
