Venue : Stamford Bridge, London

Finally the brand new football season is here and to kick it off you can watch last season’s 3rd place and this years Community Shield winners Chelsea face one of last seasons success stories Hull City. Hull will be looking for a positive start to their season, hoping that they can get off to a good start like they did the season before.

Despite Hull City’s excellent first half of the season, the club were close to relegation and this season many have tipped the club to go back down to the Championship. The much-hated Phil Brown has struggled to attract many big players to the club, although he has done well to keep hold of assets like Giovanni and (so far) Andy Dawson. Sam Rickets left the club in the summer to join Bolton for £3million, but Hull have done well to sign the hard-working Stephen Hunt from Reading for £3.5million, and the strong defender Olofinjana for £3million from Stoke.

Whilst Hull will be desperate for a positive start to the 2010 Premier League campaign, Chelsea will be chomping at the bit, aching to get the season off to a flyer and give all of their rivals a sign that they mean business this term, equipped with new manager Carlo Ancelotti. After narrowly beating Manchester United in the Community Shield final last Sunday, the club will be high in confidence, and will be hoping that this season they can finally re-claim the Premier League title from Manchester.

Chelsea have failed to bring in many new faces this summer, which makes a change from recent seasons, however they did spend big – £18 million on the Russian left-midfielder Yuri Zhirkhov. The player sat out of the Community Shield final due to injury and may not yet be fully fit to feature against Hull City.

Chelsea vs Hull City looks to be an interesting match to kick off thw new Premier League season, although it may actually turn out to be a very one-sided affair, with Chelsea looking like the obvious favourites against a yet unstrengthened Hull City side.

My Prediction: 4-1
