### How We Got Here
The Blues got their FA Cup campaign underway in the third round with a 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in Rosenior’s first match in charge following the departure of Enzo Maresca. Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adrabioyo, Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto, and Enzo Fernandez all netted in the one-sided affair against lower-level opposition.

The luck of the draw remained on their side as they visited Hull in the previous round. A Neto hat trick and an Estevao strike were enough for a dominant 4-0 win that saw them make their way to the fifth round draw.
