Chelsea are riding strong and flying high atop the Premier League right now, hardly missing a beat after their loss two matches ago put an end to their long winning streak. Now they’re facing off with a relegation-threatened Hull City side, and they’re champing at the bit to show just what they can do in a match like this.
Now, Chelsea aren’t perfect. Their loss to Tottenham proved that. But they’ve been rampant since then, and even with Hull winning two of their last three all-competitions matches, they stand little chance against a team like Chelsea — especially when they’re focused and have a clear goal to achieve.
That goal is to extend their Premier League lead, an opportunity handed to them by Liverpool’s shocking 3-2 loss at the hands of Swansea on Saturday. With Liverpool slipping out of second place, Chelsea can open up a nine-point lead, one that could prove to be unassailable if they can get on another hot run of form like the winning streak they only recently lost.
