Hull midfielder Huddlestone questions Arsenal's Wembley bottle

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone is convinced Arsenal could crumble in next week's FA Cup final.

Failure for Arsene Wenger's side is almost unthinkable. It would mean eight years, 11 months and 25 days without a trophy.

"I'm sure they would remind us that it's been a lot longer than eight years since we won a trophy," Huddlestone told the Mail on Sunday.

"Arsenal are massive favourites and hopefully the underdog tag can do us a massive favour. All the pressure's on them.

"You see the style of football they play is constantly the best in the league. They've got their policy of buying younger players and bringing them through which is commendable.

"As they've seen with Mesut Ozil this season, players like that do make a massive impact if you spend the money.

"Another one or two players like that and they'd have been right up there for the whole season, challenging for the league title.

"We have just to go out there, try to stifle their main strengths and find a few of their weaknesses. We know we will get a couple of chances and it is just about being clinical and having a bit of luck on the day."
