The FA Cup fourth round kicks off with the possibility of a Friday night giant-killing, when Chelsea visit Championship high-flyers Hull City.
Liam Rosenior will steal the attention around an intriguing cup tie given he was formerly a Hull employee, making 161 appearances as a player and taking charge of 78 games as the club’s manager. But the Tigers’ current boss, Sergej Jakirović, will be keen to spoil the homecoming.
Jakirović has guided Hull to fourth in the Championship this season and a much-changed Chelsea side will be put under significant pressure at the MKM Stadium. The Blues swept Charlton Athletic aside in the third round but face a sterner test in Yorkshire.
Even wholesale changes shouldn’t prevent Chelsea from punching their ticket to the fifth round but they must be wary of an awkward opponent, banishing any complacency for their trip north.
Here’s how to tune into Chelsea’s trip to Hull in the FA Cup.
