The Tigers pulled off a famous 2-1 victory last September after coming from a goal down to inflict only the Gunners' second ever defeat at Emirates Stadium.

Brazilian midfielder Geovanni provided the spark with a 30-yard wonder strike and despite a run of just two wins in nine games, the 29-year-old claims Hull can prove that win was not a one-off.

"It was not just about me at Arsenal in the league," he said. "The team won that game. It shows that something that is supposed to be impossible can turn into possible.

"I have been saying from the start of the season that Hull will stay in the Premier League. I feel even stronger about that now. But the FA Cup is important because it can help everybody's confidence. We are moving up as a team and everyone wants to get to Wembley."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admits his team took Phil Brown's side too lightly at The Emirates and is demanding a showing similar to the 3-1 win at the KC Stadium in January.

"We were maybe a bit complacent against them at home," said the Frenchman. "I don't know if they are much different but we are, because that complacency certainly will not be the case again. We will have more determination."
