The fifth round fixtures of the Emirates FA Cup have been drawn and the Gunners have been selected to play at the Emirates Stadium against Championship side Hull City.
Arsene Wenger’s side are the current holders of the prestigious award, having won it two seasons in a row and will be looking to retain it for a third successive year.
The Gunners beat Sunderland in their third round game by three goals to one in what was a routine win – with Jeremain Lens putting Sam Allardyce’s side ahead, before goals from Joel Campbell, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud confirmed a comfortable three points.

They then beat Burnley in the fourth round, with goals from Calum Chambers and Alexis Sanchez enough.
Arsenal will take on Steve Bruce’s side in their third game of the competition this season and will certainly be looking to continue their cup run. Having looked fairly confident in the Barclays Premier League this season, Wenger will undoubtedly be on the lookout to win this trophy as well to add to his impressive silverware collection.
The game against the Tigers will be played at the Emirates and without doubt, the Arsenal faithful will be looking forward to seeing their side take to the field once again in the competition they have won more times than any other club.
All FA Cup fifth round games will be played between Friday 19th and Monday 22nd February.
