Former Spurs midfielder Huddlestone hopes Hull can stop Arsenal from winning FA Cup



Tom Huddlestone hopes Hull can do his former club Tottenham a favour by beating Arsenal in next month's FA Cup final.



The former Spurs midfielder, who scored in the Tigers' 5-3 semi-final victory over Sheffield United at Wembley on Sunday, is hoping he can extend the Gunners' barren run without a trophy.

Huddlestone said: ‘It would be nice to stop them winning anything again. But we know its going to be difficult.’

Arsene Wenger's men have gone nine years without silverware and Huddlestone admits the north London club will be favourites.

However, the 27-year-old is confident Hull can cause a shock and said: 'It's a cup final and it's probably the best place to be an underdog.

'We've shown against the big boys that we can match them, although we probably haven't got a lot of the results we deserve.

'Liverpool are flying high at the top of the League and we beat them so hopefully we can do the same against Arsenal.

Asked whether he expected to reach May's Wembley showdown when he first moved to the KC Stadium in a £5.25million deal last summer, Huddlestone admitted: 'No not at all, I don't think anybody, if theY're being honest, would have.

'To be in an FA Cup final and be doing fairly well in the league is a testament to the squad.'
