Fixture: Arsenal vs Hull City
Competition: FA Cup
Kick-off: 12:45 (UK time)

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named his playing eleven and substitutes for his side's fifth round FA Cup clash against Hull City at the Emirates Stadium later this afternoon.

With a Champions League game against Barcelona in the horizon, the Frenchman has made a few chances to the starting eleven. Danny Welbeck will be making his first start since coming back from a lengthy injury layoff, and David Ospina has been given an opportunity to impress, with Petr Cech getting a well deserved break ahead of European commitments.




Mesut Ozil is also missing from the squad and Alexis Sanchez is only on the bench. Alex Iwobi, Joel Campbell, Theo Walcott and new signing Mohamed Elneny are all starting against Hull City. Olivier Giroud and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are some of the regulars who are on the bench today along with Hector Bellerin.

With a quarter-final berth at stake, Arsenal will be looking to progress in the competition and keep their hopes of winning a third FA Cup in a row, alive.
