Arsenal to Host Hull City in the FA Cup and Other Team Fixtures

Arsenal have been drawn at home to Hull City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Gunners advanced to the last 16 with victory over Burnley on Saturday afternoon, while Hull won 3-1 at Bury - with on loan Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom scoring a hat-trick.

There is, of course, plenty of history between Arsenal and Hull when it comes to the FA Cup. Wenger's side completed a remarkable turnaround in the 2014 final, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 after extra-time.

This will be the third successive season in which the teams have met in this competition, with Per Mertesacker and Alexis securing a 2-0 victory over Steve Bruce's side in last year's third round.

The FA Cup fifth round will be played over the weekend of February 20 and 21.
