Chelsea v Hull: Confirmed line-ups as Blues aim to end Tigers' unbeaten Premier League start
Chelsea seek to end Hull City’s unbeaten start, with Cole Palmer having produced 15 goal contributions in 15 matches against promoted teams.
- Chelsea hosts Hull City at Stamford Bridge today, seeking to rebound from last Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal while the unbeaten Tigers aim to maintain their surprising start to the Premier League season.
- Hull City has defied expectations, sitting third in the league after seven points from three games and yet to concede a goal despite facing 5.05 expected goals against; boss Sergej Jakirovi has proven a shrewd operator early this season.
- Cole Palmer has registered 15 goal contributions in 15 matches against newly promoted sides, while Chelsea remains unbeaten in their last 17 matches against Hull across all competitions dating to 1988.
- Boss Xabi Alonso confirmed Moisés Caicedo will miss the match due to a calf issue, though Levi Colwill is expected to start despite his mid-week withdrawal; Chelsea could secure three successive home league wins for the first time since 2024/25.
- Hull could become the first team since Manchester City in 2015/16 to keep a clean sheet in each of their first four Premier League matches, a defensive feat no newly promoted side has ever achieved.
