Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Chelsea and Hull City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Stamford Bridge in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle (via the Daily Mail): "I am not going to change the club in the transfer window. I am happy here, happy in London and the fans. We have a great team and want to win something this season. This is where I belong."
Hull City manager Steve Bruce (via the Herald): "The people that we brought in to give us that extra dimension, it hasn't quite happened yet. But we have to give it time. It has been a frustrating thing for me because I haven't been able to play what I think is my best team, but that is the way it is and you're going to get injuries and suspensions."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Nagging injuries have neutralized Chelsea's Diego Costa, but the 26-year-old remains the club's premier strike option. In 12 league appearances, Costa boasts 11 goals and an average of 1.8 key passes.
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Ramires, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Costa
Hull City's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Harper; Rosenior, Dawson, Chester, Elmohamady; Quinn, Huddlestone, Livermore, Meyler; Aluko; Jelavic
