The Chelsea Blues and Hull City Tigers are playing on the English Premier League schedule on Saturday and the match from Stamford Bridge starts up at 10 am ET on the NBC Sports Network and NBCSN Live Extra website as EPL play kicks off this weekend with Jose Mourinho and Diego Costa getting it going.

Chelsea comes in after losing their first match of the season and they remain in first place on the Premier League table despite the defeat. The Blues will have Petr Cech in net with Thibaut Courtois sitting out for the match, while Cesc Fabregas will be out on a one game suspension. Courtois comes in dealing with a muscle injury and now Cech will make his first start in EPL play this year.

Chelsea remains on top of the Premier League table over Manchester City and now they can move on from talk of an undefeated season. The team has been off to a great start and Chelsea is still in first place ahead of Man City and now the Citizens will be without Sergio Aguero and that gives Chelsea another boost. The team has been ahead all season and they have not yet lost any points at Stamford Bridge and they are looking to avoid that on Saturday.

Hull has never won at Chelsea and now they are looking for the first win overall and this would be a big time to get it and now they have the chance to do it. The team hasn't won over Chelsea in ages and the loss for Chelsea last week against Newcastle came as the first in 18 matches this season. The team has seven wins at home in seven chances and the team has kept things clean at home in 12 of the last 15 matches at home.

Hull has been scuffling lately and they have been through the last eight without getting a league victory. The team has only two goals over the past seven games and now they have Chelsea and that makes things even tougher for Steve Bruce's team. The Tigers have have draw against Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton away and now they are looking to do the same with Chelsea.
