Game Preview
Chelsea will be heavily favored to avoid a shock result when they travel to Hull City in the FA Cup on Friday. However, the Blues have shown defensive vulnerabilities in recent matches, most recently throwing away a 2-0 advantage to draw at home to Leeds United on Tuesday.
Liam Rosenior will come up against his former club on Friday, with the coach having enjoyed an excellent 18-month spell with the Tigers. Chelsea’s record in the FA Cup deserves respect, as they have reached the final in three of the last six seasons.
Hull City will be playing in the fourth-round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2019-20. They have been one of the surprise packages in the Championship this season, as they sit fourth in the second tier. That is an excellent return to form after finishing 21st in the Championship in 2024-25.
However, the Tigers will need to bounce back to form after losing at home to Bristol City last Saturday. That defeat means that they have now failed to win in their last two. It should also be noted that they have struggled defensively in home fixtures in 2025-26, allowing 1.44 goals per game.
Hull vs. Chelsea Picks
Chelsea made light work of Championship opposition in the previous round of the FA Cup, breezing through Charlton Athletic with a 5-1 win. A similar story could be likely at the MKM Stadium on Friday.
