Chelsea, the Premier League's leaders and title favourites, will look to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points with victory over a resurgent Hull City. Marco Silva has restored faith in Humberside, but they will need much more than that to take something against Antonio Conte's relentless juggernaut.

It’s a big game for…

Nathan Ake: The 21-year-old could be in line to make his first start under Antonio Conte following his return to the club. He impressed during his loan spell on the south coast at Bournemouth, so the home side will be hoping he can replicate this fine form at the Bridge.

Best stat…

Chelsea are unbeaten against Hull in the Premier League, with seven wins and one two draws.

Remember when…

This super strike from Frank Lampard put Chelsea ahead against Hull in 2011. The sublime technique is a true example of the Stamford Bridge great's striking prowess.

Player to watch…

Abel Hernandez: The Uruguayan looks in tremendous form under the management of Marco Silva. He’s getting goals, creating chances and he carries a presence on the pitch that seems to lift the whole Hull side.
