Hull vs Chelsea preview
Liam Rosenior says former club Hull is a “special place for him” ahead of taking his Chelsea team there on Friday.
And it promises to be a special season for the Championship side who’ll have absolutely no fear about the Blues’ visit.
Hull find themselves in fourth and seven points clear of Preston outside the promotion places, while also sitting just the seven points off Middlesbrough who top the division!
Although things could’ve been better had they not suffered defeat at home to Bristol City last time out, which ended their six-game unbeaten run.
With just a +7 goal difference, it shows their games have been tight and competitive and that’s exactly what they’ll hope to show on Friday.
But Chelsea will still be wounded from midweek when cruising 2-0 up over Leeds, only to throw it away and leave Stamford Bridge with just a point.
It should’ve been three though, with Cole Palmer missing an open goal from two yards out with seconds remaining, having been deadly from 12 yards in the 180 minutes of football he’d played prior to that.

Hull vs Chelsea predictions
Progression
Things have been going well on the face of it for Liam Rosenior but there’s definitely cause for a little concern for Blues fans.
Unconvincing start to the game against West Ham a fortnight ago, unconvincing end to the game against Leeds in midweek and strange tactics in the defeat to Arsenal in between.
They should have enough to progress through here but it likely won’t be easy and there’s next to no chance of keeping a clean sheet, having gone six games without one.
