Hull City will face off against rival West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Hull City, coming out of a 2-0 loss to Manchester City, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

Hull City Manager Steve Bruce is accusing the Football Association of "kangaroo court" over George Boyd's ban from playing.

"It's like a kangaroo court - we don't know who sits on it or who is accountable for it. The problem is we can't go down and see anyone, we can't be represented on this commission and we don't know who sat on it," he said, according to the site.

"What we got was three referees on Monday morning saying that in their view he [Boyd] deliberately spat at him [Hart]. We're totally disappointed and the whole system needs looking at."

West Bromwich Albion, coming out of a 2-1 victory over Swansea City, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

West Bromwich Albion Manager Pepe Mel insisted he had no say in the sale of Shane Long as the Baggies prepared to face their former record signing, Express and Star reports.

"I was told there was an important amount of money about to be paid by Hull," Mel said, according to the site.

"And I was told, basically, it was a good decision for the club. I went along with decision the club had made regarding his sale."
