Arsenal are progressing well in their bid to win the FA Cup for the third year in a row. They have so far had two home draws beating Premier League strugglers Sunderland and promotion chasing Championship side Burnley. Fate has been kind to them again in the fifth round and they are home again to a Championship side in Hull City. This is the third year in a row the two sides have met in the FA Cup. Two seasons ago Arsenal came from 2-0 down at Wembley to beat Hull in the Cup Final and beat them again in the third round last season. Arsenal are in good form having won their last two games including that 2-1 win over Leicester City last Sunday. Hull City were relegated from the Premier League last season but are looking good to regain that position. They are currently top of the Championship but aren't the greatest of sides on their travels having lost five away games since November. Hull have a strong defence though with just four goals conceded in their last ten games. Arsenal will play a weakened side for sure as they take on Barcelona in the Champions League just a few days later. That might see Danny Welbeck start the game and I think Arsenal will have too much for the Championship side.
