Chelsea vs Hull City: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Chelsea vs Hull City predicted formations

Chelsea host Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, September 12 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).

Chelsea will be without the wrist-injured Jordan Henderson, with Marco Palestra, Moises Caicedo and Emmanuel Emegha all game-time doubts. Cole Palmer leads the attacking numbers with 2 goals from 12 shots, João Pedro has also scored 2 and created 6 chances, and Pedro Neto adds a goal of his own in just 163 minutes. Hull City’s team news is heavier: out are Eliot Matazo, Darko Gyabi, Jack Butland, Ilyas Ansah, Charlie Hughes, Hidemasa Morita, Oscar Zambrano and Paddy McNair, while Matt Crooks, Timothy Iroegbunam, Joe Gelhardt and Matty Jacob are all doubtful. Nobel Mendy is the main outlet left up top, with a goal and 3 shots on target already this season.

US viewers can watch Chelsea vs Hull City on NBC and Peacock.

    Chelsea vs Hull City Prediction

    Hull City have taken 7 points from 3 games without losing, while Chelsea have 6 points from 3 with 1 defeat already on the board at Arsenal. This looks tight and low-event rather than open, and the Signal model’s 0-1 finish in Hull City’s favor is the right side of that: a Nobel Mendy goal enough to see them through at Stamford Bridge.
