After a two-all draw against cross-town rivals Arsenal midweek, Chelsea now turn ther attention towards cup duty as they travel to face Hull.

Preview: Hull vs Chelsea

Chelsea will look to get back on track after a draw and a loss from their last two Premier League games when they travel to face Hull in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday evening. The Blues are still in fourth spot, but will be bitterly disappointed with not earning all three points against cross-town rivals Arsenal from their most recent fixture.

Despite enjoying much of the ball against Newcastle, they failed to make those opportunities count and lost that game 1-0 due to a last-gasp goal. And against Arsenal, they were unable to take advantage of having a man up and had to settle for a 2-2 draw. As a result, the Blues dropped five points out of a possible six.

Opponents Hull, meanwhile, come into this game off the back of two straight losses in the Championship and sit in 12th place. All eyes will likely be on Jarrod Bowen, who is trying to garner interest from Premier League clubs and so he's set to start here to put himself in the shop window. Defensively, they've been hit with a spate of injuries. Jordy De Wijs, Matthew Pennington, and Callum Elder are all struggling with various issues, so this could see the hosts have to make do with a make-shift back-line for this game.
