VS
Chelsea vs Hull City is a status-gap matchup with Chelsea’s superiority sustained across their meetings, while the cup has supplied the fixture’s most distinctive settings. Hull have occasionally made Chelsea respond during open passages, but they have yet to turn that pressure into a result. The interest comes from the contrast between Chelsea’s sustained edge and the chance for Hull to test themselves against a heavyweight. A future tie would again measure Hull’s resistance against Chelsea’s established control.

Stats for this game
Matchup Chelsea VS Hull City
Chelsea’s sustained control
Chelsea have repeatedly controlled this matchup across Premier League and FA Cup meetings. That hierarchy has held in both league and cup settings, giving Hull a durable challenge whenever the sides meet. One 2015 league match showed Hull making the contest unusually open, however. That contrast leaves a durable question for any future meeting: can Hull sustain pressure long enough to change the familiar outcome?
Hull’s cup tests
In March 2015, Chelsea led 2–0 inside nine minutes through Eden Hazard and Diego Costa, Hull levelled before half-time through Ahmed El Mohamady and Abel Hernández, and Loïc Rémy restored Chelsea’s lead in the second half. Chelsea then won the 2018 FA Cup meeting 4–0, with Willian scoring twice alongside Pedro and Olivier Giroud. In February 2026, Pedro Neto’s hat-trick and Estêvão’s goal delivered another 4–0 FA Cup win. Hull have supplied moments of resistance, but Chelsea’s sustained dominance remains the defining feature.
