Hull defender Ryan Taylor gives the ball away to Theo Walcott - not a good idea.

Shaun Maloney tries to recover the situation by going in strong on Walcott, and the Hull man earns the second yellow card in as many minutes.

Hull make it past the half-way line! Hooray!

A free-kick is sent long into the box and Harry Maguire goes down in the box while going up against Arsenal's Joel Campbell.

Maguire looks longingly at Mike Dean, but the referee gives him a yellow for simulation. Not what the Hull man was after.

"Wenger will use the big guns if he has to, if the game is a draw with 25 minutes to go. He absolutely does not want a replay."

Arsenal's Theo Walcott tries to side-foot home but Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic gets down low and saves with his feet.

It's all Arsenal so far.

Arsenal are closing down well on their Championship visitors and are comfortably holding possession, waiting for the right moment to pounce.

Alex Iwobe tries to latch onto the end of a long-ball into the box, but he can't quite get to it before it's in the hands of Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic.

Here's a look at the average positions of the players so far.

Theo Walcott's begun with a very positive mindset for Arsenal.

Hull, on the other hand, are in containment-mode.

"There's a goal coming. Arsenal are getting their shots off too easy, and with the quality of play the ball's going to find the back of the net if Hull don't get tight on them."

Hull have been playing very, very deep but have a chance to go forward as Nick Powell earns a free-kick in the middle of the pitch.

Hull remain patient and Powell tries to punt the ball into the box but it's cleared and Arsenal go on the counter.

Walcott races forward but the visiting defence clear again.

Danny Welbeck again! 

The Arsenal forward comes in from the right and drives an effort at goal, but it's saved by the Hull keeper. 

Alex Iwobi then has a go from outside the box but the youngster can only put his effort wide of the post.

Arsenal seeing plenty of the ball. But did we expect anything less?

Nearly an opener for Arsenal. 

Theo Walcott whips in a smart cross from the right and Danny Welbeck rises high but can only head at Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic.

"Hull are defending very deep, so it's tough at the moment for Walcott to find any space."

Alex Iwobi has the ball snatched from him in the box but Arsenal regain possession. 

Theo Walcott tries to swing a ball across the box but it's blocked for a corner, which comes to nothing for the hosts.

Lovely play across the edge of the penalty area for Arsenal.

Joel Campbell to Alex Iwobi to Danny Welbeck...but the latter is hustled off the ball.

Mohamed Elneny then goes for goal from distance but it's scrambled clear by Hull.

Did defender Alex Bruce catch the ball with his arm? Possibly. 

Free-kick for Ryan Taylor on the left-hand side and Hull play a nice bit of keep-ball from it.

Josh Tymon darts forward and has a go on goal, but it goes into the side netting.

As an aside, Tymon is 16 years old. He was born in 1999. I've never felt so old.

Hull forward and Man Utd loanee Nick Powell makes a mazy run into the box but is quickly ushered off the ball by the Arsenal defence.

Powell will be keen to make an impression on his first start for any club since August 2014.

Off we go! The fifth round of the FA Cup is underway. 

The players emerge from the tunnel. Arsenal are all wrapped up warm and snug in their red training tops. 

None of that nonsense for Hull. Looks like they're all sporting short sleeves.

"They are all quality players for Arsenal but it's different for Hull. 

"If you are Hull City fans and and you are offered heads for promotion and tails for FA Cup, what would you want?"
