Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso credited Hull City ahead of the Blues’ clash against the Tigers on Saturday, September 12, at Stamford Bridge. The newly promoted side, which won the playoffs to make their return to the Premier League, has been a surprise package this season.
Sergej Jakirović’s side find themselves third in the table after three games with seven points. They shocked Manchester United with a 2-0 win on the opening day before winning 1-0 against Coventry City and drew 0-0 against Aston Villa last week.
