The Blues' defence had appeared impregnable hitherto their undoing at St. James Park on Saturday, but they've brushed aside every competitior that has attempted to infiltrate their Stamford Bridge fortress this season, which will not do jittery Hull City's confidence a whole world of good.
Speaking of the Tigers, not having won a Premier League game in over two months, Steve Bruce's northern outfit will not be fancied to take anything from this game and it will most likely be a case of keeping it as a football score and not a cricket result.
Usually for visitors to West London, the news that Thibaut Courtois will miss tomorrow's encounter through a small injury picked up in training would present a huge opportunity to capitalise on, but with club legend Petr Cech waiting in the wings, you can bet that Chelsea's goal-difference will not be going anywhere but up tomorrow afternoon.
Besides the injury to Courtois, the hosts are also without sensational summer signing Cesc Fabregas, due to a suspension he picked up in the defeat to the Magpies last weekend. Midfield partner Nemanja Matic is available again after a suspension of identical circumstances.
For Hull, the returns of Nikica Jelavic and Gaston Ramirez ensure that Bruce has an almost-full squad roster ready for selection, but Mohamed Diame stays out with a long-term injury.
Jose Mourinho is very confident of his side's ability and insists that last week's defeat has not knocked the wind out of his side's sails:
'We are playing very well in almost every game, there hasn't been one bad performance,' said the maverick Portuguese manager. 'We cannot do any more than we are doing.'
