Chelsea 2-2 Hull City

Kick-off: 2026-09-12

Chelsea are heavy favourites at Stamford Bridge against Hull City, backed by a dominant head-to-head record (9 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats) and recent 4-0 victory over Hull in February 2026. Chelsea's last five show W–L–W–W–W with 16 goals in five matches; they thrashed Leeds 6–3 on 9 September and beat Brighton 4–3, though they lost 1–2 to Arsenal. Hull sit third in the table with 7 points but their underlying form is thin: only 4 goals in their last five, averaging 3.4 shots on target and 1.05 xG per game. Chelsea's key attackers João Pedro (2 goals, 2 assists in 3 apps), Rogers (2 goals, 1 assist) and Palmer (2 goals, 1 assist) are in early-season form, while Hull face multiple injuries (Ansah, Butland, Gyabi, Hughes, Matazo, Morita) that weaken both defence and midfield. Chelsea also have injuries (Caicedo, Emegha, Henderson, Palestra) but superior squad depth compensates. Expect a comfortable home win.
