    Win here would send us top, albeit temporarily.

    I didn't give Hull a prayer in July/August but happy to admit they've proved me wrong. They've made some steady purchases and unlike the other two newly promoted sides they are pretty consistent win or lose. We'll have to be something close to our best here to come away with 3 points, a poor performance and we'll end up like Liverpool which would be disappointing given how well we've done over the last 28 days or so.

    It's a case of stick or twist, do we stick with Willian, Oscar and Hazard or go with Schurrle, Mata and Hazard? I'd go with the latter seeing as they'll be more motivated. That said, given how well Hull press and the 8 day break between games we'll likely go with Willian, Hazard and Oscar.


    C'mon Chelsea!

    These are the games we should win ,but often struggle. However, we have been grinding results well and expect another victory here. As for the team ? Anyones guess, the usual favourites I suppose, plus the usual bench warmers.

    The best we've managed this season is 3 wins on the trot. Were on 3 now and if we can win here we're more the capable of making it five against United.

    This is a real opportunity to gain ground on the teams around us. Two winnable home games after this.

    These are the games we must win. I hope we've learnt from our mistakes earlier in the season.

    Every game up to City away is a must win if we're to stand any chance. We need to win our next 3 then take a point at the Etihad.

    Make you right there DL! A point at the Etihad would underline our class!

    Very sluggish start, not enough urgency. Oscar should have scored but hits it straight at McGregor!!!!

    Oscar does Nando at 33mins

    poor old finish - aiming at the goalkeeper hands when the whole goal is gaping

    I just thought it was a wonderful save from mcgregor. Obviously Oscar should have scored but Mcgregor dived extra early anticipating the direct. Great power by oscar but maybe direction could have been better

    never ever a wonderful save.. keeper was going down already - before Oscar pulled the trigger..

    Maynor didn't help by reducing the angle.. Awful from Oscar

    Oscars failure to score is meaningless, we got the the goals, a clean sheet and all three points in the end, and that is all that matters.

    Crucial 3 points, that's all I care about. Two tough away games out the way and now back-to-back home games where we are 9 wins and 1 draw from 10 games. Up next is two poor teams with average managers that are both under pressure.

    Good win for you guys, I have a soft spot for Chelsea so I'm not too disheartened. You struggled to settle in the first half and we had a couple of decent chance. Oscar should have scored really, but as soon as Hazard put it in, it was smooth sailing. Torres was quiet all game, but popped up with the goal to seal it all. Good luck for the rest of the season, I hope Chelsea win the league.
