Chelsea vs Hull confirmed lineups

This will likely be a similar fixture to one we’ve seen a lot from top teams as they go up against a stubborn block and tries to blow the house down with mixed success.

Chelsea Team News
All injury and suspension updates are based on the latest information from PremierInjuries.
The Blues are in a bit of a sticky situation with their midfield as Enzo Fernandez’s deadline day departure left them one short on fit options. Jordan Henderson’s broken arm ruled him out from pre-season while Moises Caicedo picked something up before the league campaign began and has only featured for 10 competitive minutes in five fixtures.
Young striker Emmanuel Emegha has also been missing since pre-season with fans having yet to see him play for his new side. The final absentee is wing-back option Marco Palestra who offered something very interesting with his pace, physicality, and the fact that he is ambipedal.
Hull City Team News
The Tigers are set to be without a few names as injuries had piled up early on. Eliot Matazo, Darko Gyabi, Jack Butland, Ilyas Ansah, Charlie Hughes, and Hidemasa Morita are all set to miss out after being deemed unfit. They could welcome back Paddy McNair, Tim Iroegbunam, and Brooke Norton-Cuffy for this one based on the latest updates on their fitness.
Chelsea Confirmed Lineup
Be sure to check back as this will be discussed when the starters and bench are officially announced.
Hull City Confirmed Lineup
Check back as this will be updated when the starting eleven and substitutes are revealed.
The Last Word
Alonso will have a lot to learn after the first half against Leeds United where a staunch back five caused his team major issues. Hull will set up with more energy and more guile than a rotated Whites unit did and that could provide some problems for the boys in Blue.
