Story summary

Sergej Jakirovic, the manager of newly promoted Hull City, was named Barclays Manager of the Month for August by the Premier League, beating out managers from Arsenal and Chelsea. On September 10, Chelsea FC will face Hull at Stamford Bridge in their first match against a newly promoted team this season. Despite Chelsea's recent defeat to Arsenal, they are buoyed by scoring six goals in the second half during a midweek Carabao Cup win over Leeds, securing their place in the fourth round of that competition. Moises Caicedo remains sidelined for Chelsea with a calf injury, but Romeo Lavia is available after being rested earlier this week. Hull has made an impressive start to its return to the Premier League, earning seven points from nine possible and not conceding any goals in league play so far.

Narrative

Jordan Henderson has not featured at all for his new club since his free transfer from Brentford, having broken his wrist in the celebrations following England’s win over Mexico in the World Cup at the Azteca Stadium. Emmanuel Emegha, the summer arrival from sister club Strasbourg, is out with a hamstring problem that he suffered against Bromley in a behind-closed-doors friendly in pre-season. As such, and after Xabi Alonso’s shuffling of his pack against Leeds in midweek, he has reverted back to a more familiar lineup.
