Chelsea have discovered who they will face in the FA Cup fifth round next month.

Liam Rosenior's side booked their place in the fifth round with a 4-0 win over Championship side Hull City on Friday night at the MKM Stadium.

Pedro Neto's hat-trick and a goal from Estevao Willian was enough to ensure Chelsea bettered their finish of a fourth round exit last season.

"I want to do well in this competition," stated Rosenior. "I don't see it any differently than a Premier League game or a Champions League game."

Rosenior's side have now been rewarded with a fifth round tie against Wrexham.
