Evening all. It's been a while, so please join me in welcoming back none other than your main man, Premier League football!

I wonder if no Morata will help Chelsea tonight - the speed and deftness of their front three might be just what's required to move Huddersfield's deep defence around.

It's cold, apparently. And it's also raining.

The boys are baizing!

Joe Cole thinks it'll be "a comfortable win for Chelsea tonight". I know!

Tom Ince has taken 38 shots without scoring, the most in the league; next is Granit Xhaka, obviously, with 32, then Matt Ritchie with 31.

"We are a small dog - quick, smart, aggressive" - says David Wagner of his team. "Everyone knows in football happens miracles ... extraordinary things ... we have to collect points against the top six if we like to stay up."

Note to Jake Humphrey: going to football when it's cold is not particular to Huddersfield.

Joe Cole is in the studio and has been quite insightful so far, talking about how Chelsea need to move the ball quickly to get one on ones outside.

Well in, John.

Steven "Steven" Gerrard reckons that Christensen will be in the Chelsea side for the next ten years, and notes that impressing an Italian manager is no small achievement. This is no criticism of him, but I'm wondering when we'll next see a defender as good as Adams/Stam/Terry/Ferdinand/Campbell/Vidic.

By the looks of things, Eden Hazard will be playing centre-forward tonight; I'm looking forward to seeing that. I wonder if Conte is hoping to use him like Guardiola used Messi, able to beat players in tight spaces and just generally be the best so be involved all the time. Or maybe it'll be Pedro through the middle.

For Hull, Williams replaces Quanner, while Van la Parra is back on the bench after three games suspended.

Conte says that when it's possible to rotate, it's good to do it - he makes four changes, Rudiger, Moses, Pedro and Willian coming in for Cahill, Zappacosta, Fabregas and Morata.

A riddle for you: in what circumstance would Antonio Conte deem it acceptable to start Michy Batshuayi? His disgust for him is positively Mourinhoian.
