Hull City vs. Chelsea — Live on NBCSN and Live Extra, Noon ET
Steve Bruce’s Tigers are one of four teams within three points of the final relegation spot in the Premier League, and face a tall task in hosting Chelsea. Hull has only lost one match of its last six, and would be buoyed by taking any points from the visiting leaders. Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s charges would love a win to keep their cushion over second place Manchester City.
