Chelsea have stumbled but should have too much for Hull

Hull have never beaten Chelsea in the Premier League and I can’t see them bucking that trend despite the Blues’ recent wobble.

After an encouraging start to the season, it could be a case of back to basics for Chelsea after their recent defeats against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Three points this weekend seem absolutely imperative if they are to mount a realistic title challenge – Chelsea are out to 20/1 to win the league.

Diego Costa is 7/1 to be the Premier League’s top scorer this season but his late yellow card at the Emirates was his fourth in six league games this term.

Suspensions could easily be the difference, although Sergio Aguero (13/8) has served his own three-game domestic ban this term.

Eden Hazard has scored in his last three league games against the Tigers and the Belgium international is 5/1 at BetVictor to score the opening goal and 13/10 to find the back of the Hull net for the fourth game in a row.

Incidentally, Hull have had a player sent off in their last two games. There have been only eight instances of a club having a man dismissed in three consecutive Premier League matches.
