Hull City are without Ireland international Kevin Kilbane for their FA cup sixth round clash with Arsenal this evening, for what Hull assistant manager Brain Horton describes as a “massive game� for the club. The winners will face Chelsea in the semi-final in April.

“In football, some unthinkable things can easily become possible,� says Brazilian star Geovanni, who is keen to play at Wembley. With bookies offering 10/1 on a Hull victory, the team will have to pull off another major surprise at the Emirates.

Fourth-place Arsenal were shocked 2-1 by Hull in the Premiership in September, and will be looking to put that behind them and carry on their fine form of late, despite having lost their number one goalkeeper to injury. Manuel Almunia suffered an ankle injury during Arsenal’s 4-0 demolition of Blackburn last weekend.

The match kicks off at 1945 GMT and is Live on Setanta Sports1. Should be a cracker! Lets just hope it is a bit more interesting than West Ham V West Brom which was on last night eh?
