Arsene Wenger "cannot complain" over Hull City replay

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists that he has no complaints about being forced into an FA Cup replay with Hull City.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that he has no complaints about being forced into a rematch with FA Cup adversaries Hull City.

The Gunners were held to a goalless draw by Steve Bruce's side on Saturday, necessitating a rematch at the KC Stadium before the quarter-final against Watford in mid-March.

Finding a date for the replay is proving problematic, however, with Wenger's side already due to play Barcelona twice in the last 16 of the Champions League, as well as Premier League encounters with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Swansea City.

"I am still exactly of the same opinion - I believe we all have big squads," Wenger told reporters on Monday. "I personally believe that every time when I select my team, I have a difficult problem to leave some players out with top quality so I cannot complain.

"We are equipped to play in this kind of competitions. When the season starts, we know the rules and we have decided to go forward with these competitions so we continue to do that."

A provisional date of Tuesday, March 8 has been mooted for the replay although UEFA rules mean that it cannot be selected for TV broadcast.
