If you’d have asked me about Hull’s survival chances 48 hours ago I would have given you a much more negative response than I would give you now. The additions of Huddlestone and Livermore add much needed quality to the centre of the park and both will add steel to the side. I still expect Hull to be in the relegation fight but I do think they now have a feasible chance of survival. Chelsea may be without Juan Mata but I still expect them to record a comfortable home win here but I don’t expect Hull to be embarrassed on their return to the Premier league.

Prediction 3-0 Chelsea
