""Hopefully, we can put on a really good show; it will be amazing to go back. Without Hull, without the experience of being there as a player and as a manager, I would not be sitting here. I've got a lot to thank the club for, and I had some amazing times there, both as a player and as a coach.""
""Chelsea have progressed from all eight of their FA Cup ties against Hull - it is their joint-best 100% progress rate by a team against another in the competition's history, along with Leicester City and Birmingham City. And the Blues have also 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 (Barnsley in 2007-08 and Bradford City in 2014-15).""
Liam Rosenior expects an emotional return to Hull City for the FA Cup fourth-round tie and wants Chelsea to approach it like a Premier League or Champions League match. Rosenior managed Hull from November 2022 to May 2024 and was dismissed after narrowly missing the play-offs. He played for Hull from 2010 to 2015, making 161 appearances and helping them reach the 2014 FA Cup final. Rosenior's family connections include a grandmother who was a season-ticket holder. Chelsea have progressed from all eight FA Cup ties against Hull and from 62 of their last 64 ties versus non-Premier League sides.
