Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: 'FA Cup replay against Hull City is not ideal'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits that it is "not ideal" having to play Hull City again in a replay of their FA Cup fifth-round clash.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that it is "not ideal" having to play Hull City in a fifth-round replay in the FA Cup.

The Gunners forced Hull goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic into making 11 saves at the Emirates this afternoon, but they failed to find a way through as the game ended goalless.

Arsenal already have a busy schedule as they are in the knockout rounds of the Champions League and are fighting Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City for the Premier League title.

"If we have no injuries I think we can cope with [the replay], but it's not ideal, of course," Wenger told BT Sport.

"I'm not especially [happy], no. [The replay] is not what we wanted, but Hull defended very well. We had a lot of the ball, but we were probably not incisive enough or accurate enough in our passing in the final third.

"As long as we didn't score they maintained the way they played. And in the end we had 20 shots, 70% possession and no goal, so we can only look at ourselves."

The date of the replay has not yet been decided.
