Premier League: Hull vs Chelsea preview

Chelsea are in excellent form but their winning streak might come to an end when they face Hull City at the KC Stadium on Saturday. Jose Mourinho's men have won their last four matches in all competitions, moving up to third place in the Premier League table. Chelsea defeated Swansea City, Liverpool and Southampton in the Premier League were before a 2-0 FA Cup success at Derby County on Sunday. Eden Hazard, Oscar and Willian have been delivering the goods for Chelsea upfront but the defence was rock-solid as well, just one goal conceded in their last five matches. Hull are impressive at home though, they defeated Fulham 6-0 in their last home match and also managed to beat Liverpool at KC Stadium in December. They were close to causing an upset against Manchester United on Boxing Day but they threw away a two-goal lead and lost 3-2. However, the Tigers have let in just six goals in 10 matches at home this season. "You look at our recent home game against Manchester United," Hull defender Curtis Davies said. "The way we started that game and really went for it is the same attitude we should show against Chelsea. But if we're able to get a goal or two, hopefully we'll be able to hold onto it for a bit longer than we did against Manchester United. I always look forward to these games." Defender Paul McShane will miss up to four weeks for Hull with an ankle injury and winger Sone Aluko (Achilles) and striker Matty Fryatt (hamstring) won't be able to play either but Robbie Brady (groin) could return. Branislav Ivanovic (knee) and Frank Lampard (muscle injury) will miss out for Chelsea. Hull have not beaten Chelsea in their last nine direct matches, the last time they won was in October 1988. Chelsea have won two of their last three matches at Hull while this season Lampard and Oscar scored when Chelsea beat the Tigers 2-0 on the opening weekend of the season at Stamford Bridge. Here are the odds for this match at Bet365: Hull win - 11/2 Draw - 3/1 Chelsea win - 3/5
