25'
Sam Clucas is caught in possession and Swansea have a promising breakaway, but Sigurdsson can't get a shot away and it comes to nothing.
21'
Barrow's looked dangerous so far and puts in another cross from the right wing, but nothing comes of it.
18'
Fer pokes an effort over after nice hold up play from Llorente. The Dutchman was under pressure but should have hit the target from about ten yards out.

16'
Fernando Llorente the next man to miss a chance, getting too much on a glancing header and it goes wide of the near post. The match has come to life.
15'
Great chance for Hull! Robert Snodgrass plays in Adama Diomande but he fires wide from ten yards outs.
14'
Some half-hearted appeals for a penalty from the home fans as Modou Barrow goes down under pressure from Andy Robertson having overrun the ball, but the referee's having done of it.
12'
Leroy Fer now perhaps fortunate to avoid going in the book, bringing down David Meyler with a sliding tackle mid-way inside his own half.
11'
Jakupovic again called into action but this time it's a much easier save and he deals with Jordi Amat's 35-yard daisy-cutter without too much effort.
6'
A great save from Eldin Jakupovic to tip Sigurdsson's long-range strike onto the bar, after he latched onto Wayne Routledge's knockdown.
5'
Federico Fernandez lucky to avoid a booking after taking out Abel Hernandez just inside the Swansea half.
3'
No chances so far but Swansea are dominating possession.
1st Half
1'
We're underway at the Liberty Stadium.
14:58
Stuart Attwell is the man with the whistle today, and kick-off is imminent.
14:52
Having become the first side to beat the Premier League champions in their opening match of the season last week, I'm not sure this stat will bother the Tigers.
14:44
Meanwhile Hull have dropped out of the top four after Manchester City's win.
14:40
Disappointingly, no this man today. Swansea's record signing misses out through injury.
14:30
We're half an hour from kick-off. Feel free to tweet any predictions or thoughts on the game to @TacoAli.
Will this man be offered the job on a permanent basis? With so much uncertainty surrounding Hull at the minute anything they can get from this game will surely boost Mike Phelan's chances, whoever the owners are.
14:19
Swansea ran out 3-1 winners the last time the two sides met for a Premier League match at the Liberty Stadium. Of the goalscorers that day, only Ki Sung-Yueng could feature today. He starts on the bench.
14:13
Hull unchanged then from the team that beat champions Leicester, although when you've only got 13 senior players fit there aren't really many changes to contemplate making. Swansea meanwhile bring in the Gylfi Sigurdsson for Leon Britton, who is ill, but you imagine might have made way for the Icelander anyway.
