Arsenal will continue their quest for a third consecutive FA Cup glory as they travel to KC Stadium to play Hull City in their return leg of the fifth round after ending the first leg at Emirates goalless.
Hull City come in to this fixture with high expectation as they were able to hold Arsenal at Emirates and with Arsenal’s recent bad form, they hope to get something out of this game.
Last Five Games Form Comparison
Hull City: DDWDL | Arsenal: DLLLD
Hull have lost only 1 game in their last five outings and have also conceded 1 goal in their last five games too. Also they are poor upfront as they have scored only 3 goals in their last 5 games.
Meanwhile Arsenal who are the favourites in this fixture are currently in a bad form, they have not won in their last five games and have conceded 9 goals in their last 4 games. That’s bad defending. The most interesting fact in this game is that Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 15 FA Cup matches.
