Chelsea vs Hull City : the promoted side are above the Blues after three rounds 
Hull City sit third in the Premier League with seven points. Chelsea are just behind in fourth with six.
That reversed order, with a newly promoted side above a top-four contender, is the headline story of round four.
The game takes place on Saturday 12 September at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off at 15:00 local time, which is 16:00 in France.
Chelsea head in with a bitter taste in the mouth after a 2-1 defeat at Emirates Stadium against Arsenal.
Hull City, meanwhile, are still unbeaten since the restart and come in off a hard-earned 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.
Over their last five matches in all competitions, the promoted side have picked up ten points, while Chelsea have managed only four.
That gap in form is why this fixture looks far less one-sided than the squads suggest.
Chelsea : six points from three games, but a defence that keeps cracking 
Chelsea have six points after three matches, a decent total that hides a clear imbalance between the two boxes.
The Blues scored seven and conceded five across the first two rounds, the kind of numbers you expect from a side that pushes high and leaves itself exposed.
The 4-3 win over Brighton summed it up: three goals in half an hour, then the game opened up because the back line was far too generous.
Last Sunday at the Emirates, the same pattern came back to haunt them despite Rogers striking in the second minute.
Havertz on 25 minutes and Odegaard on 50 turned it around for Arsenal.
The stats are blunt: Chelsea have conceded in every match so far this season.
Against a deep-lying side happy to sit and wait, that defensive looseness is less costly than usual, which is why the Londoners are favourites at home.
Cole Palmer remains the key player in Chelsea’s attacking play in the final third.
A return to Stamford Bridge should help them reset after the trip to the league leaders.
Try it for $0.99.
Hull City : an unbeaten promoted side with a defence that has not blinked 
Hull City have seven points from three matches and arrive in London without a defeat to their name.
That record carries real weight when you remember the club were tipped as one of the main relegation candidates before the season started.
Two wins from their opening two games put the Tigers near the top of the table by mid-August.
The 0-0 against Aston Villa in round three confirmed the main trait of this team: they do not give much away.
That defensive base is the main point here, long before anyone starts talking about what the promoted side do going forward.
Over their last five matches, Hull have taken ten points, the best return of the two teams involved.
This trip to Stamford Bridge is the first real test of their schedule.
The timing is not bad for them either: Chelsea have just lost a derby and will not have the sharpest mindset in the building.
A promoted side that has not yet conceded against an attack that scores but also leaks goals? That points to a tight one.

Premier League Prediction Chelsea vs Hull City
Our pick : Hull City or the draw, double chance
Hull City have not lost a game since the restart and bring the better form into this one.
Chelsea have conceded in every outing and have taken only four points from their last five matches, a return that does not really back up their favourite tag.
The promoted side sit deep, close the gaps and just held Aston Villa to 0-0: they have enough to leave London with at least a point.
Double chance on Hull City is the play for round four.

Before anything else, a word on our free picks
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something looks obvious, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, at some point, you will.
- The best approach is to keep it sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need for day-to-day living. And above all, do not chase losses; it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts to take up too much space in your life, if it winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist service. That is what it is there for.
- At the end of the day, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is not allowed for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can go off the rails fast (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They have no legal force. Plain and simple: you cannot use them to claim anything if a bet does not land.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, check that betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
