Chelsea vs Hull City Preview
Chelsea‘s poor run of results came to an end on Monday night when they registered a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge against a struggling West Brom. Before this, the Blues had only managed three wins from their last ten games, one of which was the previous round of the FA Cup where they were forced to see off Norwich on penalties in order to qualify. Manager Antonio Conte has been under increased pressure as his side continued to drop points and join in the battle for a Champions League spot with Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal. The victory on Monday will have raised spirits and confidence although it was by no means a perfect performance from Conte’s men.
A win at Stamford Bridge on Friday would see Chelsea through to the quarter-finals and with some lower-league teams still remaining in the competition, Conte will be looking to progress and hope for a favourable draw in the next round.
Chelsea have some tough fixtures ahead including Man Utd and Man City away in the Premier League following the first leg of their Champions League fixture against Spanish Giants Barcelona on Tuesday. Conte will consider these games a priority and may opt to rest a few of his players for this FA Cup clash with Hull. Thankfully, Conte doesn’t have too many players out with just Ross Barkley and Marcos Alonso likely to be unavailable for selection on Friday.
Hull are struggling this season in the Championship and currently sit just one point above the relegation zone. They come into this game off the back of a 2-0 away win to Nottingham Forest which eased the pressure slightly but with tough games against Middlesbrough and Sheffield Utd following Friday’s cup game, manager Nigel Adkins would probably rather not being playing Chelsea right now.
Hull have three players currently on loan from Chelsea (Michael Hector, Ola Aina and Fikayo Tomori) who will therefore not be eligible to play on Friday evening. Adkins will likely rotate his squad to focus on keeping Hull from becoming a League One side next season and with Ryan Mason, Abel Hernández and Moses Odubajo all out through injury, Nigel Adkins may struggle for options.

Chelsea vs Hull City Predictions
Both sides will likely make changes taking into account the fixtures they have lined up following Friday’s cup game which they will both consider a higher priority. Chelsea have a much deeper squad though and should be able to see off a weak Hull side who have struggled for goals and consistent results recently. Giroud, Pedro and Willian should be enough of an attacking threat for Chelsea to bag a couple of goals which Hull are unlikely to match. Chelsea are expected to progress with ease on Friday and Hull boss Nigel Adkins will then be able to focus on his sides relegation battle in the Championship.
