After their humbling loss to London rivals Arsenal at the weekend, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back when they travel to take on Hull City on Saturday.

Antonio Conte's men have lost their last two Premier League games, to the Gunners and Liverpool, which has left the Blues sitting in eighth place in the top-flight standings, and left the Italian coach facing an early test of his managerial abilities.

A trip to Hull comes at a good time for Chelsea, then, with the Tigers having been thrashed 5-1 by Liverpool last weekend, and having only won one game at home this season - although that victory came against the champions Leicester.

Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte is expected to welcome captain John Terry back from an ankle injury, which could mean Gary Cahill dropping to the bench following his mistake for Arsenal's first goal on Saturday.

Kurt Zouma continues his recovery from knee ligament damage, and could be back in action as early as next month.

Hull City also began the season on a good note and would be hoping to upset the Blues at the two teams clash at the KCOM Stadium.

In other games on Saturday, Swansea City would play Liverpool at 11:30am as the first game of the they while the 2pm kickoff will feature, Westham against Middlesbrough,Sunderland Vs West Brom and Watford Vs Bournemouth.

On Sunday, Manchester United would host Stoke City in the early game at 11am while defending champions Leicester would play Southamptom and the biggest game of the day would be between Tottenham and Manchester City.

Arsenal and Burnley would face-off in the final game of the day.
