Team News: Chelsea make four changes for Hull City clash

Chelsea make four changes

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has made four changes to his starting lineup as his side go in search of a win at Hull City that would send them top of the Premier League, albeit for the time being.

The Blues, who have failed to win against a promoted side away from home in six attempts, recall Petr Cech, John Terry, Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres with Samuel Eto'o and Juan Mata among the substitutes.

Branislav Ivanovic and Frank Lampard continue to be sidelined through injury.

Hull boss Steve Bruce makes eight changes from the side that won at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup last weekend with Tom Huddlestone, Jake Livermore and defender Curtis Davies all starting.

However, defender Paul McShane is out after picking up an injury at Boro and is facing four weeks on the sidelines.

Hull City: McGregor; Chester, Bruce, Davies, Elmohamady, Figueroa; Meyler, Huddlestone, Livermore, Boyd; Sagbo

Chelsea: Cech; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Ramires, David Luiz; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Torres
