TEAM NEWS
Hull City defender Harry Maguire is available after recovering from an ankle injury.
However, caretaker manager Mike Phelan may be reluctant to make changes after back-to-back league wins.
Manchester United could name the same starting line-up that beat Southampton 2-0.
Midfielder Jesse Lingard is in contention after returning to full training this week following an injury sustained in the Community Shield.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Martin Fisher: "Two clubs boasting 100% starts - one expected, the other surely the biggest shock of the campaign so far.
"Successive wins for Manchester United are an early indicator that Jose Mourinho won't take long in turning them into title challengers again.
"Meanwhile, Hull's six-point haul has already been stuffed inside the bag marked 'relegation fighting funds'.
"Mike Phelan has worked wonders with just 13 fit senior players on the books but can a makeshift centre-back like Jake Livermore really handle Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has quickly taken the Premier League in his imperious stride?
"And what about Sam Clucas versus Paul Pogba in midfield? Another tall order."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Hull City caretaker manager Mike Phelan: "I can't praise the players here enough. There's a great atmosphere around the place and everyone is smiling.
"It's another tough Premier League test for us on Saturday. It will be hard, but the players are relishing the challenge."
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on Phelan: "I hope he gets the job [despite] losing the match.
"I think the reality is he's one of the most successful assistant managers in the country, in the Premier League.
"Now he has this job and he has managed to motivate and organise the people. Are they defensive? Yes. But that's the way they have found to get points. I think he deserves the job."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Hats off to Hull for their start to the season with six points out of six, and the way they are playing too.
But this is the Tigers' toughest game so far by a long way. This Manchester United side can score goals from all over the pitch and they are starting to get their swagger back too.
Prediction: 0-2
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- Hull City are winless in their past 11 league and cup games against Manchester United, losing 10 of those matches.
- The last meeting saw Hull claim their first Premier League point against the Red Devils on the final day of the 2014-15 season. That match saw the Tigers relegated (results elsewhere meant even a win would not have kept them up).
- United have had a player sent off in their past two visits to Hull (Marouane Fellaini and Antonio Valencia).
- Hull's last win against Manchester United was a 2-0 home victory in a second-tier game on 23 November 1974, when Malcolm Lord and Ken Wagstaff scored.
Hull City
- Hull caretaker manager Mike Phelan has made just one substitution in two league games so far - with the player he brought on, Shaun Maloney, registering a goal and an assist after coming off the bench at Swansea last weekend.
- Victory would see Hull become only the second newly-promoted side to win their opening three Premier League games, following in the footsteps of Bolton in the 2001-02 season.
- Only once before has a team been relegated after winning their opening two Premier League games (Wolves in 2011-12). No side has gone down after beginning with three consecutive victories.
- Hull have used the fewest players in the Premier League this term (12) but have had the most different goalscorers (four).
- Abel Hernandez has scored five goals in his past seven league games for Hull, excluding the play-offs.
- Ahmed Elmohamady has appeared in every one of Hull City's 78 Premier League matches since the start of 2013-14.
Manchester United
- United have won their opening three matches of a Premier League season on four previous occasions (2003, 2005, 2006 and 2011) but only in 2006-07 did they go on to win the title.
- They are one short of 700 away defeats in the top flight.
- The Red Devils are also two short of becoming the first team to score 800 Premier League away goals.
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored three goals in his first two league appearances.
- The player to score the most goals in their first three Premier League games is Pavel Pogrebnyak - who netted five times in three matches for Fulham in February 2012.
- Ibrahimovic has scored in 25 of his past 31 league appearances (41 goals in total).
- Wayne Rooney has scored seven goals in his last five Premier League games against Hull City.
