**Sergej Jakirovic** assessed the next challenge for **Hull City** against **Chelsea**.
The _Tigers_ boast the best defensive record in the **Premier League**, having kept clean sheets in wins against **Manchester United** and **Coventry City** as well as a goalless stalemate with **Aston Villa**.
·‘They are very strong, especially their offensive side’
--------------------------------------------------------
Now, they face a team whose games have been helter-skelter: the _Blues_ have already conceded seven **Premier League** goals and leaked three more in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but their attack is impressive.
_"Every game is a new challenge, and we will try to play even better than the last three rounds. I'm expecting that in every game that we grow, and it's a great experience for us now that we have three games behind us"._
_"Imagine we had one or zero points; then it will be pressure. This excellent confidence, we have to continue like this so we compete and have our chances. Every game you have a chance._
_"Which system we will play depends on our profile, what we have available, and then we will see. Chelsea are playing mostly in the low block 5-4-1. They can play out of possession as well because they are quick on the counter-attack, so it will be interesting."_
_"I watched_ **_Chelsea_** _v_ **_Leeds United_** _yesterday; it is unbelievable how they are very strong, especially their offensive side. Anyone can decide every game, and we have to be even more solid there, aggressive and compact. We will be under pressure._

_“This is 100% because they are a very good team with an excellent coach. It is a great challenge ahead of us, and we will try to play well. For me, they will be in the top four 100% because they have this quality."_
