Chelsea heads to Hull City for the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, with Liam Rosenior returning to his former club.

Chelsea is in a busy schedule, currently positioned fifth in the Premier League. They recently drew 2–2 with Leeds United. The team has a strong history in the FA Cup, as they have won all eight of their previous matches against Hull. A win tonight will secure their place in the fifth round and continue the positive energy under the new coaching team.
