What time does it start?

Chelsea vs Hull kicks off 8pm

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on BT Sport 2 from 7.30pm. Highlights will be shown at 10.30pm on BBC1.

It’s a big game for…

Danny Drinkwater: Drinkwater has not had the best time of things since moving to Chelsea, only featuring a handful of times.

With Tiemoue Bakyoko and Ross Barkley unavailable for selection and Conte confirming he will be switching things up for this clash, it’s a big game for the former Leicester star to show what he can offer.

Weird stat…

9: Chelsea have progressed from nine of their last 10 fifth round FA Cup ties, their only loss coming against Manchester City in 2014.

Remember when…

Chelsea opened their successful 2009/10 campaign with victory against hull city courtesy of Didier Drogba’s last minute winner.

The Blues went on to win the domestic double of Premier League and FA Cup in May.

Player to watch…

Jarrod Bowen: Chelsea are in the top four of the Premier League and will expect to comfortably beat Hull in their fifth round clash. But, if Hull are going to cause any problems, it is likely to come through their 21-year-old forward. He has scored 12 times in 30 Championship clashes so far this year, seeking to help the Tigers avoid the drop.
