This was Diego Costa's 100th game for the Blues in all competitions. He had now scored 52 goals including one in each of his four appearances against Hull City in the Premier League. Chelsea had now won 15 of their last 16 games in the Premier League, including all of the last eight at Stamford Bridge.

League position: 19th Hull City had now failed to keep a clean sheet in 20 games in the Premier League games since a 2-0 win at Swansea City on 20 August 2016. The Tigers had now lost nine consecutive away league games for the first time since April 1998 in League Division 3. City had now scored only one goal in their last seven away games in the Premier League.
