CHELSEA head to Hull looking to book their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Frank Lampard‘s men have been inconsistent in recent weeks and will be keen to avoid a potential Cupset against the Championship playoff chasers.
Hull have narrowly lost their last two league games and have won just six of their 14 home matches so far this campaign.
Grant McCann saw his side battle back from behind in the last round against Rotherham, while the visitors saw off Nottingham Forest.
CHELSEA make the trip north to Hull on Saturday, January 25.
The evening FA Cup offering, kick-off is at 5.30pm.
When the Blues last visited this ground in 2016, they ran out 2-0 winners thanks to strikes from Willian and Diego Costa.
Infact Hull haven’t beaten Chelsea in any of the North London sides seven visits, losing six of them.
The only draw was back in 2010, when Steven Mouyokolo netted in a 1-1 stalemate.
