Please Sir, can I have some Mour ?

 

Chelsea v Hull
Premier League
4pm SKY

The spotlight falls on Stamford Bridge at 4pm for the homecoming of Jose Mourinho and the return to the Premier League of Hull City Tigers (yes, you read it right – Tigers).

It’s hard to envisage anything other than a Chelsea win and you could easily see at LEAST SIX GOALS in the game in a dream opening match for Chelsea – on paper at least.

Steve Bruce’s Hull struggled away from home last season and their daunting task at the top level is reflected in the Premier League relegation odds which already has them as odds-on to take the drop.

The teams haven’t met since 2010:

Feb 2010 Premier Hull 1 – 1 Chelsea
Aug 2009 Premier Chelsea 2 – 1 Hull
Feb 2009 Premier Chelsea 0 – 0 Hull
Oct 2008 Premier Hull 0 – 3 Chelsea
Sep 2007 Carling Cup Hull 0 – 4 Chelsea
Dec 1999 FA Cup Hull 1 – 6 Chelsea
Jan 1992 FA Cup Hull 0 – 2 Chelsea
Feb 1989 Div 2 (old) Chelsea 2 – 1 Hull
Oct 1988 Div 2 (old) Hull 3 – 0 Chelsea
Jan 1982 FA Cup Hull 0 – 2 Chelsea

The only dilemma is how far ?

For me the play on Star Sports would be Chelsea around 13/8 with two goal deficit.
