Liam Rosenior will be looking at where he can rotate his side and still achieve strong results in the FA Cup when Chelsea make the trip to Hull City tonight.
The Blues manager has insisted he will show the Championship side respect in the Fourth Round of the Cup as a result of their strong form in the league so far this season.
Rosenior previously worked for Hull, although will surely be taking the opportunity to hand a rest to star man, Cole Palmer, despite his strong recent form.
What changes would you make to our XI?
Changes could be about to come at the back, with Rosenior hinting Mamadou Sarr could be about to make his domestic debut for the club.

Liam Rosenior has ‘no worries’ about starting Teddy Sharman-Lowe vs Hull
After reports that Filip Jorgensen could return to the starting side, Rosenior has ruled out that prospect so far. However, he wouldn’t promise that it would be Robert Sanchez starting.
The manager told the Chelsea website that he would have ‘no worries’ in starting Teddy Sharman-Lowe if he needed to against Hull.
He said: “Filip’s not fully fit at the moment. He’s working really hard on his rehab.
“Teddy has had a very important loan at this stage of his career and he’s shown me really good things in training as well. So I’ve got no worries if we have to call upon him.”

Teddy Sharman-Lowe’s limited window of opportunity at Chelsea
After recalling him from his loan at Bolton Wanderers, Chelsea decided not to loan him back out in January.
How many points do Chelsea get from their next three PL games? 🤔
The top-four race is hotting up…
So far, he has been on the bench for the last four Blues games, with Sanchez currently getting no opportunity to rest and reset.
The opportunities have been few and far between for the goalkeeper since he joined the club, and could be about to see those chances become even rarer in the coming months.
Mike Penders is set to join the club at the end of the season from Strasbourg, with there plenty of hope that he can be the number one for the long-term future at the club.
