Chelsea vs Hull head to head record

The fourth round FA Cup draw has matched Chelsea with Hull for the eighth time, and second in three seasons. The Blues have never lost to the Tigers in this competition, though three of the first four ties between 1909 and 1982 were only won after a replay.

Chelsea have won the last seven meetings in league and cup and are unbeaten in 15 games against the Tigers (13 wins, two draws).

Eddie Gray was in charge the last time Hull defeated Chelsea. They won 3-0 at their old stadium Boothferry Park in October 1988 in the old Second Division.

Chelsea in numbers

Chelsea have been drawn away in the FA Cup for the first time since the quarter-final at Leicester in 2018.

The last team from a lower division to beat the Blues in the FA Cup was Bradford City in the fourth round in 2015 at Stamford Bridge. The Bantams were sixth in League One at the time and ended our run of 12 successive home victories by winning 4-2.

Frank Lampard’s side have won 60 per cent (nine) of our 15 away games this season in all competitions, losing four.

In his playing career for the Blues, Frank Lampard played five times against the Tigers, winning three and drawing the other two, scoring twice.

Milestones

Antonio Rudiger’s next appearance will be his 100th for Chelsea in all competitions since he joined the club in the summer of 2017.

Against Arsenal, Cesar Azpilicueta’s started for the 250th time in the Premier League. He is the seventh Blues player to reach that landmark for the club.

Hull come into the match on the back of successive league defeats to Fulham and Derby.

Grant McCann’s side have lost their last two home games (Nottingham Forest and Fulham) without scoring. They have won six and lost six of their 14 games at the KCOM Stadium this term.

The Tigers currently stand 12th in the Championship with 39 points from 28 matches, seven points off the play-off places.

Top scorer Jarrod Bowen has scored 35 goals in his last 57 appearances since December 2018.

In the third round at League One side Rotherham, Grant McCann made eight changes to their previous league game at Sheffield Wednesday. Tom Eaves scored a stoppage-time winner and completed his hat-trick in the Tigers’ 3-2 victory.

Discipline

There are no suspensions

Yellow cards only count in the competition they are received. In the FA Cup, two yellow cards will result in a one-match suspension. The cut-off point is the quarter-finals, so no player can miss the final through cumulative yellows.
