Match Preview
Xabi Alonso will not want to taste defeat again anytime soon, but he will be hoping to inflict that pain on Hull City and their manager, Sergej Jakirović. The visitors remain unbeaten in the Premier League and have already kept three clean sheets, making them a tougher opponent than their position might suggest.
Hull will be looking to continue their impressive start as they aim to stay in the top half of the table and avoid slipping down the standings. However, their trip to Stamford Bridge presents a major test, with their last visit coming in 2017 when they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Chelsea team news
Moises Caicedo is unavailable for the game, with Chelsea unlikely to take any risks with their defensive midfielder. Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha are also out for this one.
The substitutes who came on at half-time against Leeds and changed the game are all expected to start, with João Pedro and Emi Martínez also likely to return to the starting XI.
The predicted line-up is a pretty much foregone conclusion with a similar team to the one against Arsenal.
Predicted XI: Martinez; Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill; Neto, James, Lavia, Hato; Palmer, Rogers, Pedro
Hull City team news
Sergej Jakirovic has confirmed that Hidemasa Morita and Charlie Hughes are the only registered players carrying injuries at present with the rest of his first-team group being ready and available for selection.
Brooke Norton-Cuffy could replace Lewie Coyle as the only change to the back five with John Egan and Ryan Giles among those to impress so far this season.
Predicted Hull XI: Tzolakis; Norton-Cuffey, Ajayi, Egan, Mendy, Giles; Slater, Gourna-Douath; Belloumi, McBurnie, Stroud.
