The Blues may have suffered their first competitive defeat under Xabi Alonso against champions Arsenal last weekend, but they came away with plenty of plaudits and an expectation they’ll register a top-four finish at the very least. Chelsea have been the division’s great entertainers so far, scoring 16 goals in five games in all competitions – with just two of those netted without any involvement from attacking trio Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro. The three will expect to combine again today, and they’ll fancy their chances of extending Chelsea’s excellent record in this fixture. The Blues have never lost in 10 Premier League meetings with Hull, winning eight and drawing two. There are, however, a few warning signs for Alonso to consider. The main ones being that Chelsea haven’t managed a clean sheet in their last 19 Premier League matches and the fact Hull’s defence has yet to be breached this season. Furthermore, Chelsea have failed to win any of their last four home league games against newly promoted sides, drawing three and losing one. They’ve only once gone five consecutive home league games without beating a promoted side. Hull will hope to capitalise on that record and extend a few records of their own. Following wins over Manchester United and Coventry, Hull secured a goalless draw against Aston Villa, becoming only the fourth promoted side to register seven points in their opening three games. But translating that form to an away trip to Stamford Bridge looks a tougher assignment, especially given Hull have never won in 18 league visits to Chelsea, drawing three and losing 15. It’s the most they’ve faced any opponent away in the top four tiers without winning.

The Chelsea star, 24, finally looks back to his best with four goals and an assist in the club’s opening five matches of the season – including a brace against Leeds midweek. The underlying data backs that up too, with Palmer leading the Chelsea squad for shots and shots on target, averaging an effort every 21 minutes. He remains the club’s designated penalty taker, which could prove important with Hull likely to defend deep and Chelsea expected to dominate possession. Bet: Cole Palmer to score at 11/10 with Betfair First goalscorer and correct score prediction Chelsea vs Hull First goalscorer: Joao Pedro at 7/2 with Sky Bet Correct score: 3-1 at 9/1 with SBK Tip 2: Chelsea to score 3+ goals Chelsea to score 3+ goals Yes, Hull have done well to keep three consecutive clean sheets, but that feels unlikely to continue. The Tigers have an expected goals conceded figure of 5.05, the eighth-highest in the division, and have hugely outperformed that number. Hull also have a terrible record against Chelsea, having never won in 18 league visits to Stamford Bridge, losing 15. Chelsea have netted 3+ times in three of their last five and scored 4+ in two of their last three meetings with Hull.
