History of the Hull City v Chelsea fixture

Hull City prepare to entertain Chelsea at The KC Stadium on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 4 of the 20 games played, and losing 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The KC Stadium was just last season, in October 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Premier League match.
