Chelsea's inability to nullify Hull City's threat from set-pieces has alerted Carlo Ancelotti to a season-long problem, and the Italian tactician is looking to limit the amount of goals his side concedes from dead-ball situations

"We know about it. I know very well how many goals we have (conceded) from set pieces," Ancelotti said to Sky Sports.

"Every team here in England has a very good jumper and a very good striker and it can happen that you concede a goal.

"How we score, sometimes we can concede.

"I think we did our best but it was a tough game and Hull played well and put a lot of pressure on us."

Chelsea drew 1-1 with Hull City. They host Arsenal on Sunday.
