Competition: FA Cup

Market: Chelsea to beat Hull

Odds: 1/5 @ Bet365

The FA Cup returns for yet another massive round of games as the competition will surely only bring more thrills, spills and goals. England’s most famous knock-out competition is no stranger to shocking results, and with this in mind, Hull will be looking to secure a famous result as they travel to play Chelsea on Friday.

Chelsea hvae been in fairly good form this season but they are in need of a run of wins that would see them consolidate their position in the Premier League, while it would also see them progress in the FA Cup and Champions League. After 27 league games they have won 16, drawn five and lost six, while they have scored 49 goals and conceded 23 times. In their last five games they have won twice, lost twice and drawn once, which has seen them onto 53 points. The Blues are just a single point ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham and they will know that any more slip-ups would likely see them fall out of the Champions League places.

Hull have been very poor this season and they must turn their form around soon or the threat of relegation could become even bigger. After 31 games they have won six, drawn 11 and lost 14, scoring 42 goals and conceding 47. In their last five they have only won once, while they have lost twice and drawn twice which has seen them onto 29 points, just one clear of the relegation zone.
