Chelsea Team News
The manager made a sweeping statement on the injuries he is dealing with during his pre-match press conference. On Jordan Henderson, Emmanuel Emegha, and Marco Palestra he was pretty straightforward in his response that no, none will be fit. Moises Caicedo was also confirmed to be absent for this one, with the coach remaining cagey on a return date for any of the four.
Some players might be rested after playing on Wednesday against Leeds, with Valentin Barco playing the full length, Josh Acheampong has also featured in every match and could be rested for this one.
Hull City Team News
Based on the latest from PremierInjuries, the manager has been given quite the mixed bag going into this one. Some names are fit while others remain sidelined and Sergej Jakirovic will have to juggle that. Paddy McNair, Tim Iroegbunam, and Brooke Norton-Cuffy are fit to play some part in this one. On the counter side, Hidemasa Morita, Charlie Hughes, Jack Butland, Ilyas Ansah, Darko Gyabi, and Eliot Matazo are all ruled out.

The Last Word
The Blues will be putting their attacking quality up against a stubborn defensive unit that have yet to let in a goal in the Premier League. There should be too much quality in a fresh Pedro and his in-form teammates but there are no guarantees especially with the defensive frailties that have popped up so far in the campaign.
