Hull
Chelsea
- Hull, like Chelsea, progressed to the next round of the FA Cup with an away win last weekend and will be eager to make it 3 wins from 4 in all competitions against the Blues.
- Having started with a 3-man defence against Liverpool on New Year's Day, manager Steve Bruce may revert to a 4-5-1 with George Boyd coming in for Alex Bruce.
- Sone Aluko, Joe Dudgeon, Paul McShane, Robbie Brady and Matty Fryatt are all sidelined through injury.
- Chelsea will be looking to maintain their title push with the trip to Hull in Saturday's early kick off.
- The Blues secured their place in the next round of the FA Cup at the expense of Derby on Sunday and could move to the summit of the table, albeit temporarily, with a win here.
- Manager José Mourinho will be without the services of injured trio Marco van Ginkel, Branislav Ivanovic and Frank Lampard, while John Terry is expected to return to the starting XI at the expense of David Luiz
Eden Hazard, scores again - he's always a danger-man for Chelsea!

2-1 hull
2:2 !
tough game for chelsea . both managers have counter-attack tactics but in this game chelsea will be the team who attacks and hull players are good at defending . i think chelsea will struggle to get goals and hull can surprise chelsea with a counter-attack. this is an unpredictable game . 1x maybe or chelsea win by one goal
