Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Aston Villa’s match with a wounded Hull City at Villa Park. The visitors crashed out of the Europa League before it had even commenced on Thursday and will be hoping new signing Michael Dawson (who starts) can signal a return to form. Mind you, Villa lost to lowly Leyton Orient in midweek so both teams are in the market for a win.

90+6'
FULL-TIME: Aston Villa 2-1 Hull City. That's our lot at Villa Park. The hosts hold on!
90+5'
Delph's late effort is blocked by Quinn. Oddly, it's a goal-kick. We're still playing...
90+4'
Hull win the ball back. Final chance to mount an attack... They have a throw, deep inside the Villa half.
90+3'
Lambert and Bruce are standing in the same technical area, but they’re not chatting or fighting. Very odd.
90+2'
IT'S ALUKOOOO! Guzan beats his shot into the ground. Good stop.
90+1'
WIDE! It's Bent's big moment, but he squeezes a shot wide.
90'
Five minutes of stoppage time signalled...
88'
What a touch from Grealish! Not only does he intercept a high ball, but he brings it under his spell and weaves away confidently.
87'
YELLOW! Quinn gives Clattenburg a ticking off (yep, that way round) despite clearly clouting Grealish.
86'
Livermore wins a big 50-50 with Delph and Hull retain possession inside the Villa half.
85'
Five minutes for Hull to snatch a point.
84'
That Jelavic goal was the first time Aston Villa have conceded all season in the Premier League.
83'
Villa sub: Agbonlahor is applauded off the pitch by all four corners of the ground. Darren Bent joins the action.
82'
HANDBAGS! Jelavic gets a booking for a silly foul. Everyone's unhappy.
81'
"Come on City, come on City, come on City..." Such a creative chant.
80'
SAVE! Livermore has a crack from distance. Tipped over.
79'
CHANCE! Delph dances through the Hull defence, elects to go alone with Grealish in space on his left and drags a shot wide. Poor finish, but the midfielder has been superb today.
78'
Half chance! McShane's header lands on the roof of the net.
77'
Villa Park, predictably, is a very anxious venue.
76'
Villa sub: Richardson departs for Jack Grealish.
