Curtis Davies: 'Arsenal tie meant to be'

Curtis Davies has said that he is confident of Hull City's chances of progressing in the FA Cup, after being drawn against Arsenal in the third round.

The two teams played each other in last season's final, with the Gunners fighting back from two goals down to claim a 3-2 victory and win their first piece of silverware in nine years.

"I guess it was just meant to be, with it happening in rehearsal and the draw being in Hull," Davies told BBC Sport.

"We will have to go there and just give them a good game."

Hull claimed a 2-2 draw against Arsenal on their last trip to the Emirates in October.
