Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has named his starting line-up for the FA Cup fourth round tie at Hull City tonight.

  • Chelsea star to miss FA Cup clash with hamstring injury
  • Chelsea to make serious push to sign Brighton star



  • The Blues played out a frustrating 2-2 Premier League draw against Leeds United in midweek, and will aim to return to winning ways at the MKM Stadium against the Tigers.

    Ahead of the game, Rosenior has made several changes to the XI.

    Robert Sanchez continues in goal for the west London giants.

    However, there is a complete reshuffle of the four-man backline.

    Malo Gusto, Josh Acheampong, Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella make way. Chalobah and Cucurella are not in the squad altogether.

    Reece James and Jorrel Hato will start in the right and left-back positions tonight. Wesley Fofana will partner Mamadou Sarr in central defence.

    In central midfield, Andrey Santos and Moises Caicedo keep their places.

    However, there are changes in the final third. Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro are not in the XI. Palmer has been left out of the squad.

    Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho will start in the right and left wing positions tonight. Estevao has got the nod in the number 10 position.

    As predicted by us, Liam Delap will lead the line for the Blues.

    Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Hull City: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Sarr, Hato; Caicedo, Santos; Neto, Estevao, Garnacho; Delap.
