Xabi Alonso is set to take his pre-match press conference at 1:30pm (UK time) today with the Chelsea manager previewing his team's Premier League fixture with Hull City this weekend.
The high-flying Tigers are the visitors to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon with the Blues looking to return to winning ways in the league after the defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
Alonso said earlier in the week that he is hopeful Moises Caicedo will be fit enough to take part in some capacity when Hull come to town. We are set to get another update on the Ecuadorian's fitness this afternoon.
There might also be questions relating to Wednesday evening's dramatic victory over Leeds United, where Alonso was forced to call upon a few of his crucial players - something he would have been frustrated about.
That, and much more, to come on football.london. Our Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent is live in Cobham throughout the day to bring you every word Alonso has to say in his latest press conference.
