The FA Cup Preview - Arsenal vs Hull City.

9 years. 9 years Arsenal fans last saw their beloved team lift a trophy. Since then; Chelsea have had nine different managers, Twitter was launched and Arsenal have had a change of stadium. However today on the 17ty May 2014, Arsene Wenger's men have a huge opportunity to end their horrific record and give something for the Arsenal fans to cheer about.

There is no doubt about it though, today is not going to be easy. Arsenal are favourites to win, yes. But Hull City will not go down without one heck of a fight. Steve Bruce's men have had a successful season in their return to the Premier League and what a way to conclude their season with a trophy. 

The two teams have met twice this season. Arsenal coming out on top both times in a convincing 2-0 victory and recently a steady away performance at the KC Stadium to win 0-3. 

Possible XI's.

Arsenal - Fabianski; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey; Rosicky, Ozil, Podolski; Giroud.

Out: Gnabry (knee), Miyaichi (hamstring), Walcott (knee).

Hull City - McGregor; McShane, Bruce, Davies, Figueroa; Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler; Fryatt, Aluko. 
Out: Jelavic, Long (both cup-tied)
