Team News - Chelsea: Former Hull manager Liam Rosenior returns to his old club with a squad that may see rotation, potentially handing starts to Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho. While Marc Cucurella is a doubt, the Blues hope to have Reece James and Tosin Adarabioyo back in contention after recent fitness concerns.
Head-to-Head Facts: Chelsea boast a dominant record historically over the Tigers, having not lost to Hull in any competition since 1988. The Blues have successfully progressed from all eight previous domestic cup ties played between the two sides.
Hull City Form Guide: Hull had won four straight games before stumbling with a draw against Watford and a loss to Bristol City. They currently sit as a playoff-chasing Championship side aiming to reach the fifth round for the first time since 2018.
Chelsea Form Guide: The west Londoners have been in encouraging form under Rosenior, securing seven wins from their last ten matches across all competitions. Despite a recent 2-2 draw against Leeds United, they remain heavy favourites as they look to avoid a repeat of last year's fourth-round exit.
