Chelsea vs. Hull City: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 50

Chelsea wins: 35

Draws: 11

Chelsea and Hull City have faced each other 50 times in total across all competitions, and it is the Blues who dominate the head-to-head record with 35 wins and 11 draws.

Stamford Bridge staged the very first meeting between these two teams back in September 1905, with a hat-trick from Jimmy Windridge and a brace from David Copeland sealing an emphatic 5-1 victory for Chelsea in the old Second Division.

Hull responded five months later with a thrilling 4-3 home win in the reverse fixture, but that represents just one of four victories for the Tigers against Chelsea in their entire history.

Two narrow 1-0 home league wins in December 1911 and May 1925 were recorded by Hull, before their most recent triumph in October 1988, winning 3-0 at Boothferry Park in the Second Division.

Since then, Hull have failed to come out on top in any of their last 18 encounters with Chelsea in all tournaments, with the Blues winning 16 of those (D2) and scoring 2+ goals on 15 occasions.

In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Chelsea have won eight of their 11 meetings with the Tigers, drawing the other three.

Their most recent encounter saw Hull end a run of six straight top-flight defeats to the Blues by securing a deserved point at Stamford Bridge, as it ended 2-2.

Mohamed Belloumi scored twice for the promoted side after Morgan Rogers put Xabi Alonso's men 1-0 up early on, and Joao Pedro then levelled for the Blues to preserve Chelsea's unbeaten Premier League record in this fixture despite Hull having chances to win the game.
