Chelsea vs Hull City Predictions
Chelsea’s firepower can win out with Hull still a threat
Four of Chelsea’s five matches this season have produced goals at both ends, including both of their Premier League wins. The Blues have also conceded eight times across their last three outings and have managed only one clean sheet in five under Xabi Alonso.
Hull have collected seven points from their opening three Premier League matches. Their clean sheets against Manchester United, Coventry and Aston Villa have made them the only top-flight side yet to concede, although all three opponents were allowed opportunities without making enough of them.
Chelsea present a different scoring test at Stamford Bridge. They are joint top of the Premier League scoring charts with eight goals and have struck 16 times in five matches across all competitions. Three of their four wins this season have also featured at least three Chelsea goals.
Wednesday’s 6-3 EFL Cup victory over Leeds was the clearest recent example. Alonso, the former Real Madrid boss, has Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro among his attacking options, with Rogers supplying three assists and Palmer scoring twice in three minutes against Leeds.
Hull’s defensive record deserves respect, but Chelsea have already shown enough scoring power to put it under greater pressure. The previous meeting also ended 4-0 to the Blues at the MKM Stadium in February, extending Chelsea’s winning run against Hull to nine matches.
Chelsea have won the last nine meetings with the Tigers, and I’m backing Chelsea and Both Teams To Score at 2.63.

Palmer can continue his scoring run at Stamford Bridge
Cole Palmer scored twice in three minutes after coming on at half-time in Chelsea’s 6-3 EFL Cup victory over Leeds on Wednesday. His goals brought the Blues level and added another productive appearance to his start to the season.
That second-half impact also showed Palmer can make his presence felt quickly, even without starting the match.
The England international has now scored four goals in five appearances. Hull’s three Premier League clean sheets provide a clear obstacle, but Palmer’s personal scoring return remains difficult to overlook.
Palmer has four goals in five appearances this season, and Cole Palmer To Score Anytime makes plenty of appeal at 1.83.
