Hull owner Assem Allam has a fascinating story which involves torture, fake bank notes and an awful lot of hard work. BBC Sport's Ben Smith went to meet him and has written a fascinating feature on the back of his interview.

It is well worth a read - and as for the plan to change the name of the club to Hull Tigers, is it such a bad thing?

Mark, Hull, via text: 'City' doesn't stand out! 'Tigers' can be marketed, marketing brings money, Premier League football clubs need money! Assem Allam knows business.

Montymadman, via Twitter:, external A name matters far more than the league you are in. I supported Manchester City in their darkest days. Manchester Lightning no thanks!

Liam Turvey, via Twiter:, external Hull is a rugby league town. Makes sense to change the Hull City to Hull Tigers would probably help with marketing.

Sheffield Wednesday head coach Stuart Gray welcomes Kieran Lee back from injury but Sam Hutchinson (back) misses out. Tom Lees has recovered from a hamstring problem in time to face his former club.

Sheffield Wednesday XI: Westwood, Mattock, Loovens, Semedo, May, Palmer, Nuhiu, Maguire, Lees, Maghoma, Lee

Thanks Richard. How is everyone? Pumped for the Yorkshire derby coming your way in 15 minutes? Let's start with the Sheffield Wednesday team...

Right, that's more than enough from me. Time for lunch. Guiding you through the next few hours - starting with Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday - is Marc Higginson.

Having lost heavily in the opening two games of a malicious quintet of fixtures against last season's top five, Villa should be softened up nicely for the visit of Manchester City.

But the champions have been below their best since losing in Munich last month. Last week's win at Hull was more hard-fought than it needed to be and the midweek draw with Roma has left them with plenty to do in the Champions League.

Villa will smell blood and are further emboldened by the return from injury of talisman Christian Benteke, meaning it could be a fraught evening for Manuel Pellegrini's men.

Great to have England under-21-boss @GarethSouthgate on Football Focus today., external Your questions please @BBCSport @BBCMOTD @FA 1210 BBC1

Sunderland have lost one of their opening six Premier League matches but they have yet to record a win. Boss Gus Poyet will not be alarmed just yet but the longer the Black Cats go without a victory, the more fretful he will become.

The visit of Stoke is not as favourable a fixture as it might appear, either, given Mark Hughes' side have taken five points from nine on the road this season. A solid defence and pace on the counter make them a team to be wary of.

Philip Loycker:, external Hull Tigers or City does it matter? Being in the Premier League does though and that needs money. Allam has shown he knows how to make it.

Two changes from Leeds United manager Darko Milanic as he seeks the first win of his tenure. Gaetano Berardi and Rudy Austin come in for Liam Cooper and Lewis Cook while Brazilian midfielder Adryan, on loan from Flamengo, makes the bench.

Leeds United XI: Silvestri, Byram, Bellusci, Pearce, Berardi, Bianchi, Austin, Mowatt, Sloth, Antenucci, Doukara

Still waiting for the Sheffield Wednesday team to be confirmed but we'll bring you it as soon as we get it.

As thrilling as their 5-3 win over Manchester United a couple of weeks ago was, Leicester stumbled at Crystal Palace last Saturday and today face another promoted side likely to be scrapping with them to stay in the Premier League. These are the games in which they need to take points, or rather, deprive their opponents of them.

Mind you, Sean Dyche would surely rather be in Leicester's position, given Burnley sit bottom of the division without a victory. The Clarets need points and quickly if they are to avoid becoming detached.

Football Focus gets going at 12:10 BST on BBC One this afternoon. Consider yourself officially alerted. Today there are interviews with Sunderland midfielder Jack Rodwell and West Brom forward Saido Berahino, while Mark Lawrenson, John Hartson and England under-21 boss Gareth Southgate will be in the studio.

Darko Milanic is Leeds 11th manager since they tumbled from the top flight, while Stuart Gray is Wednesday's 12th. Can either coach guide their clubs back to the top tier? Can Milanic last longer than the 70 days survived by predecessor Dave Hockaday? What is it like to be a Leeds fan just now?

Jenni: It's sad to see a historically great fixture such as Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday not gracing the top division in English football anymore. It's about time these two clubs were promoted back to the Premier League, given the size of the clubs and their support base they certainly wouldn't look out of place.

His methods might be more blood and thunder than pass and move, but Neil Warnock's ability to rouse a group of players is not in dispute.

Palace are unbeaten in four league games under his command, with successive victories over Everton and Leicester lifting them into the top half of the table. A third win today at the KC Stadium could propel them to the dizzy heights on fourth by teatime.

Hull, conversely, are toiling. Their triumph at QPR on the opening day is the only time they have reaped three points since beating Swansea in early April. Steve Bruce has spent plenty this summer but he can't buy a win right now.

This morning we're asking you which managers you think are under pressure at this early stage of the season, following Dougie Freedman's departure from Bolton.

Fraser: Lee Clark has been under pressure at Birmingham for years, but despite one home win in 23 he will never get sacked.

Struggling to score, failing to create and leaking goals... the heady days of late April must seem a long time ago to Liverpool.

Already nine points adrift of leaders Chelsea and positioned perilously in their Champions League group, Brendan Rodgers' side are just not right at the moment. The visit of West Brom would normally not be a cause for concern but nerves are jangling around Anfield.

The visitors arrive in fine fettle, too. Alan Irvine's side started slowly but have won consecutive league games against Tottenham and Burnley to sit snugly in the mid-table pack.

Leeds have won just four of their opening 10 Championship matches this term but have lost only once in their last six outings to clamber into mid-table.

Sheffield Wednesday are a couple of points and places ahead but have won only two of their last six games.

Another interesting tussle in Spain today is the meeting of second-placed Valencia and reigning champions Atletico Madrid.

Did you know Valencia's assistant manager is a 28-year-old Scot who was coaching kids in his home town of Dundee two-and-a-half years ago?

It's not been a particularly auspicious start to life at QPR for Rio Ferdinand. But, ahead of the defender's 500th Premier League appearance at West Ham on Sunday, manager Harry Redknappp has claimed the criticism of the former England international's performances have been because of his celebrity status.

"You'll always pick on the big players," said Redknapp of the 35-year-old. "I didn't see him make too many mistakes last week. He clipped a ball that got turned over and they ended up scoring a world-class goal. It's probably because he's high-profile. That's the biggest problem."

This morning we're asking you which managers you think are under pressure at this early stage of the season, following Dougie Freedman's departure from Bolton. The man in the most perilous position now looks to be Alan Pardew at Newcastle. Defeat at Swansea this afternoon could be his last.

And what of the likes of Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers and Sean Dyche at Burnley?

Andrew: Brendan Rodgers is struggling to get the best out of his Liverpool side at the moment, he doesn't seem to be able to find his best starting team or the best system in which to fit them all in to. He is under pressure to produce after the performance of last season, but talk of his job being under threat is absolutely ludicrous. Modern football really has gone mad.
