The Blues host the Tigers in our first home league game of 2017 needing all three points on offer to stay seven points clear of our closest challengers.

This week should spell something similar to last weekend's fixture where United and Liverpool shared the points to give us an extra two point cushion. Another top of the table clash is on at the Etihad this weekend where the Citizens and Mauricio Pochettino's second placed side meet.

Chelsea have an impressive record to preserve against our Sunday visitors as they have not won any of the previous nine meetings. In fact,they have never won in the league or cup at Stamford Bridge.Chelsea have won seven of the last ten meetings while three have ended in goalless draws.

The last time both teams met heralded the invention of the 3-4-3 system at Chelsea and the beginning of a thirteen game winning streak. Willian and Costa scored the goals within six minutes as the blues recorded a 2:0 win.

This is the 46th meeting of both sides with the blues triumphing on 31 occasions. Hull City have only four wins while there has been 10 stalemates.

Team News

Antonio Conte has a full squad to choose from following the return to training of forward Diego Costa who missed last weekend's game at Leicester although the blues won 3:0 on that occasion, Costa's return would be a huge boost to the team. Conte gave no assurance of Nathan Ake making a place on the bench as he thinks the youngster needs more time to adapt to our idea of football.
Hull City's new manager Marco Silva will be without two players away at AFCON, El Mohamady (Egypt) and Mbokani (Congo) for Sunday's visit.

Do you think we can grab all three points?
