Former England and Newcastle manager on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraThat is how Chelsea win games, individual ability at any moment.
If any side was going to score it was going to be Chelsea. This should open the game up.

Willian
Willian with a sublime finish as he checks back on to his left foot and curls a 18-yarder past a wrong-footed David Marshall to break the deadlock.
The dirty work had been done a few moments earlier, though, and Diego Costa was the coal-carrier-in-chief, block-tackling his way through Curtis Davies to give Chelsea a three-on-three opportunity.

Steve McClaren
Former England and Newcastle manager on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraIt was a fantastic run from Costa and the shot looked like it was going in.
It came back off the post to Kante, seven or eight yards out. He can't miss... he did.

Hull 0-0 Chelsea
Chelsea should be ahead.
Diego Costa darts on to a through ball, skips around the advancing David Marshall and shoots back towards the unguarded goal.
The ball bounces off the post, but N'Golo Kante will surely bury the rebound...
Nope. He blazes clear over the top and high into the stands from eight yards.

N'Golo Kante at his bustling 2015-16 best. The Chelsea anchorman robs Ryan Mason, motors forward, looks like he might get a nosebleed as he hits the edge of the Hull box and attempts an extravagant scooped through ball to Diego Costa.
Over-hit.

There are groans from the travelling Chelsea fans as Cesar Azpilicueta, under no pressure and inside the Hull half, opts to pass all the way back to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
No need for that. The Blues are building some pressure.

Irfan: @HullCity's league standing is far below the level of their performances this season. Deserve a decent 9-10 spot
Tom Wilkinson: Chelsea are done as a top level club, very average. Wouldn't be surprised if Abramovich walked away

David Meyler has picked up a knock, but he shares a smile as he heads to the sideline to get a squeeze of the magic sponge.
I think he'll be back.

He beat one, beat two then a great shot and great save.

Former West Brom striker on Final ScoreChelsea are very slow and very laboured. There's nothing dynamic to their play. They really need Diego Costa to come to the party and show more in the final third of the pitch. Conte must have known Hull would set up like this.

Hull 0-0 Chelsea
David Marshall's first save of the day and it has to be a good one.
Eden Hazard - all staccato feet and darting pace - turns inside Andrew Robertson and snaps a stinging shot from 20 yards which Marshall leaps across to tip over.

Chelsea have yet to register a shot on target.
Their brightest attacking outlet so far has been Victor Moses for me.
These were his touches in the first half.
