The Blues to show their stripes
Chelsea welcome Hull City to Stamford Bridge for the Saturday lunchtime kick off in a clash between two of the most in-form sides in the Premier League 2026/2027 this season.
Chelsea are 4th with six points from a possible six, while Hull City are only above them by goal difference having also taken six points from two matches. In their last five competitive fixtures, Chelsea have won four and drawn one, while Hull City have won three, drawn one and lost just once.
Chelsea's last three results have been a 3-2 away win over Fulham, a 2-0 home win over Luton Town in the EFL Cup and a 4-3 home victory against Brighton in the Premier League. Hull City's last three games have been a 2-0 win over Manchester United at home, followed by a 1-1 draw at Stoke before winning on penalties in the EFL Cup and a 1-0 victory away at Coventry City.
Hull can keep it competitive
Chelsea are the clear odds-on favourites here at 1/4, with the draw coming in at an appealing 53/10, although we believe Hull City may have the ability to keep this competitive for much of the game.
Xabi Alonso's new 3-4-2-1 system is all about controlling the game, creating numerical overloads in the centre of the field and setting a sharp press with the high line. With 5/13 goals scored in their last five games coming from Joao Pedro, The Blues have the firepower to cut through any defense, but Cole Palmer has also been on form with two goals in two Premier League 2026/2027 games.
Sergej Jakirović keeps his side tight, compact and disciplined, and sets them up to be able to counter quickly when they win the ball. Liam Millar is their biggest goal threat with one goal in two Premier League 2026/2027 matches, while the creative spark in the side has been Mohamed Belloumi who has registered one assist in the same two matches.
History and home advantage
Hull City have been very impressive this season and will fancy their chances of taking something from this game. However, Chelsea have dominated this fixture in recent years and have been in excellent form recently. We're expecting the hosts to get the better of Hull, but we don't think this will be a complete mismatch.
While the odds-on Chelsea win is our main prediction, we believe the Tigers will keep it close early on, so we're taking over 2.5 goals at 39/100 for the main. This market suits Chelsea's open, high-tempo style, and we're going for a 3-1 win for the hosts as they look to maintain their winning run to four games in a row.
