Arsenal may be required to play their FA Cup Fifth Round replay against Hull City just two days after their vital North London Derby clash with Tottenham.

At this stage, it is expected the Gunners will face Hull on Monday, March 7, just 48 hours after their clash with Spurs, which is shaping up as a vital fixture in the Premier League title race.

The Daily Express is reporting UEFA have dictated to the FA that major domestic fixtures cannot clash with Champions League match days, which eliminates the possibility of the fixture being played later in the week.

It is understood Arsenal are hopeful of having the match scheduled for March 12 or 13, on the same weekend as the other Sixth Round FA Cup games, which would leave little opportunity for a Sixth Round replay if required.
