Hull City are preparing for their first-ever FA Cup Final at the weekend, when they will be looking to provide another classic Cup upset against Arsenal.

Steve Bruce's side have enjoyed an up-and-down campaign in The Cup, perhaps best summed up by their thrilling Semi-Final victory over Sheffield United, which ended 5-3 to City after previously finding themselves 2-1 down at half time.

And they were minutes away from being knocked out in the Fifth Round, when a late equaliser from Yannick Sagbo rescued a draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium before they were convincing winners in the replay back at the KC Stadium.

There was a potential banana skin for them to overcome in the Fourth Round, when they were paired with League Two's Southend United who are also managed by former Hull boss Phil Brown. They faced a tough battle at Roots Hall, before a brace from sub Matty Fryatt saw them through.

Their first game in the Third Round saw them paired with Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, where a solid 2-0 win got their route to The Final underway.

But perhaps the most memorable for Bruce on a personal level would be the comprehensive 3-0 win enjoyed in the Sixth Round Proper against his old club Sunderland.
