Chelsea head to the MKM Stadium looking to get back to winning ways after their 2-2 draw against Leeds United in the Premier League.

"I want to do well in this competition," Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior previewed. "I don't see it any different to a Premier League game or a Champions League game.

"We're going there with a team that I think will be good enough to win the game. I want to take this game really, really seriously. We're going to have to because they're in good form. They're used to winning games at the moment."

With Hull in fourth place in the Championship and pushing for a return to the top-flight, Rosenior will be desperate to continue his positive start with the Blues with a victory over his former side to progress into the fifth round.
