FA Cup All competitions All competitions All competitions Hull have won one of their last 35 games against Chelsea in all competitions (D8 L26), a 3-0 win in October 1988 under Eddie Gray. They have lost their last eight games against the Blues. Chelsea have progressed from all eight of their FA Cup ties against Hull City – it’s the joint best 100% progress rate by a team against another in FA Cup history, along with Leicester City against Birmingham City. Hull are looking to reach the FA Cup fifth round for the first time since 2017-18. However, the Tigers have been eliminated in their last 16 ties against top-flight teams while playing outside the top-flight themselves, since a 1-0 win against West Ham in 1972-73. Chelsea have progressed from 62 of their last 64 FA Cup ties against sides from outside the Premier League, although both defeats in this run have been against Yorkshire teams: 1-0 vs Barnsley in 2007-08 and 4-2 vs Bradford City in 2014-15. Enzo Fernández has been involved in five goals in seven FA Cup appearances for Chelsea (3 goals, 2 assists), while he has four goals and two assists in eight domestic cup appearances against sides from a lower division.
