Chelsea VS Hull City
Sunday (21/01/2017)
17:30 (WAT)
Antonio Conte will prepare Premier League leaders Chelsea for Sunday's clash against Hull City in the midst of sensational transfer speculation regarding star striker Diego Costa.

Chelsea's 3-0 demolition of champions Leicester last weekend keeps Conte's Blues points seven points clear of Tottenham and Liverpool in the title race, but Tianjin Quanjian have confirmed talks with Costa's agent over a move.

Standard Sport understands the Chinese Super League club are prepared to part with more than £80m for Costa and pay the Spain international in excess of £570,000-a-week to make the switch.

Tianjin Quanjian owner Shu Yuhui has suggested Chelsea's reluctance to sell this month has ended their pursuit, though Conte may face a decision whether to sell Costa or try and convince the striker his future lies at Stamford Bridge - starting with Sunday's clash against Hull.


TEAM NEWS
Costa's uncertain future is likely to lead Conte to once again start Eden Hazard in an advanced striking role, with Willian and Pedro in support on the flanks.

The system worked well in the 3-0 victory over Leicester, and Conte may be tempted to start Cesc Fabregas instead of Nemanja Matic in a bid to press for early goals.

Hull are in trouble as they sit 18th in the table, but Marco Silva guided the Tigers to a 3-1 win against Bournemouth in his first game in charge.

A star performance from Abel Hernandez may have Conte worried, with the striker's aerial ability off runs from deep a threat considering Dele Alli's two headed goals in Spurs' 2-0 victory against Chelsea.

POSSIBLE LINE-UPS
Chelsea starting XI: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Pedro, Willian; Hazard

Hull starting XI: Jakupovic, Maguire, Dawson, Davies, Diomande, Mason, Huddlestone, Clucas, Roberton, Snodgrass, Hernandez
