Chelsea vs Hull City
Chelsea vs Hull City
Chelsea are aiming to get back on the right path in the Premier League this afternoon, with newly-promoted Hull City the visitors to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have six points from a possible nine out of their opening three matches of the season, while the high-flying Tigers go into the weekend a place above their opponents.
Xabi Alonso knows Chelsea will have their work cut out against Hull, who are yet to concede a goal in the Premier League this season, and the Blues manager promised in yesterday's press conference that there will be no complacency from the home side.
However, Alonso's job has been made harder by the continued absence of Moises Caicedo, Marco Palestra, Jordan Henderson and Emmanuel Emegha. Either way, Cheslea go into this afternoon's fourth Premier League fixture as big favourites.
Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is scheduled for 3pm (UK time) but the match is not being shown live on UK television. Not to worry, though, because football.london's Chelsea correspondent Bobby Vincent is on hand to bring you live updates throughout the afternoon.
