Hunt received no FA charge for his challenge on Cech

It will be the first encounter between the two clubs since October's clash when keeper Cech suffered a fractured skull following a collision with Hunt.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho accused Hunt of deliberately hurting Cech.

But Hunt told the Times: "It was a freak incident. If I see him (Cech) face to face obviously I'd like to talk to him about what happened."

Cech is unlikely to play again this season following the incident which sparked a huge furore in the days after match, which Chelsea won 1-0 at the Madejski Stadium.

But Hunt aims to meet the Blues keeper out of the public eye and give his side of the story.

He added: "There's a time and a place for everything and I'd prefer to do it in private.
