Chelsea hosts Hull in a fourth-round Premier League clash. The Londoners have had a relatively strong start to the season, securing two league victories before suffering a comeback defeat against Arsenal in the derby. Meanwhile, the "Blues" have also notched two wins in the League Cup. Earlier in the week, Xabi Alonso's side found themselves 2-0 down against Leeds but rallied to a thrilling 6-3 victory. Hull has begun their campaign with two wins and a draw.
For the match against the Yorkshire side, numerous changes were made, and now the regular starters are set to return. Maxence Lacroix is on the bench for the first time this season. Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers, and João Pedro are back and will lead the attack alongside Pedro Neto. Romeo Lavia and Reece James will operate in midfield.
