Going into the early kick-off, Steve Bruce will be hoping that most of his team have shaken off a flu bug that has left nine players struggling for fitness over the past week.
Aside from the viral problems, defender Paul McShane is the most notable absentee as he looks to spend the next month out with an ankle injury that will see him join Sone Aluko and Robbie Brady in the stands.

Mourinho’s return to Chelsea is going just how he would’ve liked with The Blues firmly in the title hunt as they sit two points behind leaders Arsenal in third going into 2014.
Chelsea are still without several key players with both Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic out until the end of the month forcing Mourinho to tinker with his first team outlook somewhat.
One player who won’t be featuring anytime soon will be Kevin De Bruyne with the Belgian playmaker’s future at the club becoming increasingly uncertain with a possible transfer on the horizon within the next few days.

Both teams will be keen to keep their momentum going for as long as possible and whilst Hull’s superb home form will give them some confidence, Chelsea will be out to make sure that they get the job done and continue putting pressure on their rivals at the top of the table.
