Arsenal have been handed a home draw in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against either Hull or Sheffield United provided they can beat Cardiff and Burnley.

The Gunners have been playing catch-up in the cup as their sceduled replay against Cardiff two weeks ago was postponed due to heavy snow in the London area. They face the Bluebirds tomorrow night with a home tie against Burnley at stake.

If Arsenal can overcome the two Championship teams they will play another in the form of Sheffield United in the quarter-final provided they can overcome Premiership opposition in the shape of Hull.

Arsenal fans would prefer Sheffield Untied to visit the Emirates seeing as they beat the Blades 6-0 earlier this season in the Carling Cup. Hull on the other hand beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates this season.
