New Hull City signings Oumar Niasse and Evandro are given places on the bench for the visit of Bournemouth this afternoon.

Abel Hernandez is back in the starting lineup as Marco Silva takes charge of his first Premier League game, but Markus Henriksen is out as he faces up to three months out following a shoulder injury against Manchester United in their EFL Cup clash.

Defenders Curtis Davies and Michael Dawson are also included in the lineup after passing late assessments in the other two changes, David Meyler and Harry Maguire missing out.

A much-changed Cherries starting XI from Eddie Howe sees just Tyrone Mings and Andrew Surman retain their places from last weekend's FA Cup defeat to Millwall.

Benik Afobe returns to lead the line after withdrawing from DR Congo duty for the Africa Cup of Nations, while Ryan Fraser is also back in the XI after recovering from an injury picked up against Arsenal last time out in the league.

Captain Simon Francis misses out as he serves the second of a three-match suspension. Marc Wilson, who suffered cramp last time out, starts on the bench.

Artur Boruc takes his place between the sticks, marking his 100th Premier League appearance.

Hull City: Jakupovic; Robertson, Maguire, Davies, Dawson; Huddlestone, Mason, Clucas; Hernandez, Snodgrass, Diomande
