A Didier Drogba double helped Chelsea come from behind to defeat Hull in the final minute at Stamford Bridge on the opening day of the 2009/10 campaign Big match stats: Chelsea are unbeaten in their four previous Barclays Premier League games against Hull City (W2 D2). The Tigers have won just one point from their last five Barclays Premier League away games in London. Hull last won a competitive fixture against Chelsea in October 1988 (2-1 at home). Hull have not won any of their previous 19 competitive games away at Chelsea, losing 14 (D5). Chelsea have won 44 points on the opening day fixtures in the Premier League era; more than any other side. The Blues have won 12 and lost none of their last 14 opening day league games (D2), scoring 36 goals and conceding just 14 in this run. Fernando Torres has scored three goals in two Premier League games against Hull City, though all three came courtesy of a hat-trick for Liverpool back in September 2009. The last time Hull City won away from home on the opening day was back in 2002, when they won 3-1 at Exeter in the fourth tier. Should Frank Lampard play in this game, he will overtake Paul Scholes as the player to have played in his team’s opening game of the season most often in the Premier League era (players currently tied on 17). Chelsea scored the most headed goals (16) in the Premier League last season.
