Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of table-topping Chelsea's Premier League clash with Hull from Stamford Bridge.

Full time at Stamford Bridge. A stale Chelsea struggle to a 2-0 win over 10-man Hull. But Jose Mourinho's men bounce back from last weekend's defeat to Newcastle.
Thank you for joining us today.

We'll have three added minutes of stoppage time at the end of this match.

Hull, to their credit, are throwing men forward in the final stages, but it won't stop Chelsea from picking up the three points.

Strange decision from Chris Foy, who awards Hull a free-kick on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area for a high foot, thogh Diego Costa clearly pulled out of the challenge.

There's a real lack of pace and intensity as we approach the final whistle. Unsurprising.

With a little over five minutes to play, Hull will hope to keep the scoreline at 2-0.

Jose Mourinho makes his third and final change of the day, and three in quick succession. John Obi Mikel is unable to get his second goal in two games as Ramires is sent onto the field. Not one of his best appearances today, Mikel, but solid nonetheless.

World Cup winner Andre Schuerrle is introduced as the very impressive Willian departs. An excellent afternoon for the tricky winger.

Didier Drogba's introduction is greeted with a huge cheer - as always. The Blues legend could stay at the club beyong his playing days, according to manager Jose Mourinho.

Willian tries to get on the scoresheet as he wriggles his way past a number of challenges on the egde of the Hull penalty area. The Brazilian has a pop at goal, and sees his effort blocked, but he really should have turned the ball into the path of Hazard.

Good pressing now by the home side, who have Hull by the scruff of the neck. Steve Bruce's side have done well this afternoon, but they need to be careful that this doesn't turn into a bit of a landslide.

Robertson gets forward once again, looking to inject a little pace into the Hull attack. He looks for the give-and-go with Ramirez, but appears to be blocked by Ivanovic. Nothing given and Chelsea come away with the ball.

Gaston Ramirez is introduced in what is Steve Bruce's final change of the day. The on-loan midfielder is availavble after serving a three-match suspension.

Hull have never won a Premier League match having trailed by two (or more) goals. They last avoided defeat in such a situation with a 2-2 draw at Chelsea’s neighbours Fulham in April 2014, one of only three times they have drawn following a two-goal deficit.

Hull are finding it difficult to get out of their own half now. It could be a long final 18 minutes for the visitors.

Any glimmer of hope Hull had of getting back into the game has surely gone. They had built up some momentum, but that was taken away by Huddleston's red card, and the match was taken away by that second goal.
