Hull hero Geovanni in vow to beat Blues

Hull striker Geovanni today warned Chelsea: We're out to get you.

The Brazilian has been one of the stars of Hull's stunning start to the season, hitting a wonder goal at Arsenal and the winner at Tottenham.

Geovanni is confident his team will beat Chelsea tomorrow to claim their fifth win over a London side this term and leapfrog the Blues in the table.

"Hull's bright start to the season is not about luck but rather about hard work," he said.

"Big clubs should be wary of us because we are going to continue to surprise them.

"Chelsea will be next after Arsenal. The Blues have a tremendous squad but they just lost to Liverpool, which is a blow for their morale, so let's take advantage of it.

"Luiz Felipe Scolari is a top coach and I've not doubt he will be a success at Chelsea, but I feel sorry for him because we are going to beat his team."

Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins believes Joe Cole, who has been sidelined by a foot injury, can help the team come back from the dead and beat Hull.

He said: "After losing to Liverpool the dressing-room was like a morgue but we're determined to bounce back. Any side would struggle if a player like Joe was missing so it's great he's back."
