Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Hull City vs Arsenal, an FA Cup fifth round replay at the KC Stadium.

Arsene Wenger's side were held to a goalless draw by the Tigers at the Emirates over a fortnight ago, thanks to an inspired performance by the visitors' second-choice stopper Eldin Jakupović.

Can Steve Bruce's men go one better by claiming a super-club scalp and progressing to the quarter-finals?

24 mins: A fine burst from the bright looking Odubajo is blocked off by Chambers. Again Arsenal counter with pace, Giroud cutting out to the left, but there's no-one in the box to thread through.

27 mins: Time is still passing here. Just nothing much is happening.Extra time, and the death of my dream of getting home early, is looking tediously inevitable.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:27

29 mins: Chambers is struggling in defence and he gives away a free-kick in a dangerous area, tripping Meyler 25 yards out on the left flank.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:29

30 mins: Fabulous work from David Ospina again after his impressive work against Spurs. Powell's free-kick goes nowhere but ricochets around the area before Meyler slams an effort at goal through a crowd of bodies, Ospina getting down well to his right.He's back up quickly to paw away the rebound.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:32

32 mins: Mertesacker's day is done, he comes off for Nacho Monreal. Should he have been brought back on in the first place?

James Benge8 March 2016 19:33

33 mins: A couple of bookings in quick succession for Arsenal, first Elneny goes in to a foolish challenge with Meyler and picks up a yellow.Giroud is lucky to get just that as he challenges Davis, going in studs first and connecting on the Hull man's calf.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:35

37 mins: Gibbs get space down the left and delivers a dangerous low cross that both Curtis Davies and Bruce have to clear with Giroud lurking.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:38

49 mins: Fine hold-up play from Giroud, who moves the ball on to Iwobi. He finds Walcott, who fires a tame low effort wide when he could have run at the defence. Poor once again.

James Benge8 March 2016 19:51

HT: Arsenal have been poor but Hull haven't been much better. They survive and prosper though, with Giroud showing a real poacher's instinct to put the Gunners ahead.
