Hull vs Chelsea Defense Test | Sports News

Hull City’s manager Sergej Jakirovic cracked a cheeky joke about stopping Chelsea’s blistering attack — suggesting you might need to “kick them” — as his team heads into a massive test at Stamford Bridge. Despite their surprising defensive solidity — zero goals conceded, wins over Man Utd and Coventry, and a draw with Villa — they’re up against a Chelsea side firing on all cylinders with 16 goals already this season. Jakirovic admits man-marking won’t cut it against stars like Palmer, Pedro, and Rogers, but he’s confident his squad is ready to rise to the challenge. With key players like Norton-Cuffy (cleared after a calf scare) and Egan back in action, Hull enters the clash with a mostly fit lineup and a mindset focused on relentless improvement — even if they’ve already earned seven crucial points.
