FA Cup Fourth Round | Friday 13 February 2026 | 19:45 | MKM Stadium
The FA Cup returns on Friday night as Hull City host Chelsea at the MKM Stadium.
On paper, this looks one-sided.
Historically, it has been.
Hull have won just one of their last 35 matches against Chelsea in all competitions — and that victory came back in 1988. The Tigers have also lost their last eight meetings with the Blues.
But this is the FA Cup — and surprises are part of the script.

Chelsea have progressed from all eight FA Cup ties against Hull City — a joint-best 100% progression rate in the competition’s history.
Hull’s overall record against Chelsea is stark:
If history is a guide, Chelsea know exactly how to manage this fixture.
Hull are aiming to reach the fifth round for the first time since 2017-18. However, the Tigers have been eliminated in their last 16 FA Cup ties against top-flight opposition while outside the Premier League.
Chelsea’s cup pedigree is strong:
That Yorkshire caveat adds intrigue, but the overall trend remains heavily in Chelsea’s favour.
Enzo Fernández has been directly involved in five goals in seven FA Cup appearances for Chelsea (3 goals, 2 assists).
Against lower-division opposition in domestic cup competitions, he has four goals and two assists in eight matches — suggesting strong involvement in these scenarios.
Hull are likely to defend compactly and look for transitional moments, especially early while the match remains level.
Chelsea, meanwhile, should dominate possession and territory. Expect patient build-up, wide overloads, and sustained pressure.
Cup ties against lower-league opposition often hinge on the first goal. If Chelsea score early, the match may open up. If Hull keep it tight into the second half, nerves could grow.
Chelsea to Win
The historical and FA Cup data strongly support a straightforward away victory.
Chelsea & Under 3.5 Goals
Chelsea are expected to control the game without necessarily running up a high score.
Chelsea Win to Nil
Hull have struggled historically against top-flight sides in this competition.
