🗣️ Xabi Alonso ahead of Chelsea’s match against Hull City [H] in the Premier League:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Not tomorrow [on whether Caicedo, Palestra, Henderson & Emegha are available]. We hope that they can be for Brentford.”

🐯 𝐎𝐧 𝐇𝐮𝐥𝐥:

“They are seven points, no goals conceded. They will be hard to beat. They have their weapons with transitions and set pieces. They have the belief that the coach is doing a great job. So it’s going to be hard and we’ll have to be at our best to beat Hull tomorrow.

“They deserve to be where they are. They have played against Manchester United, Coventry and Aston Villa and they have done it really well. They have shown that they have built a very clear idea of what they want, how they want to compete with players that were already there last year, a few other players that came new, but the mentality is that they want to fight with everything to get the goal.

“Tomorrow we are prepared, we are ready. There is not going to be complacency from us. We have full respect for them and we know that it will be hard to beat them. If we do things well, if we complete and play at our level, I think we will have a good chance.”
