Wenger sticks to his principles, while Hull boss Steve Bruce switches to 5-4-1.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has resisted the urge to recall first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for this afternoon’s FA Cup final.
Fellow Poland international Lukasz Fabianski, who has played every minute of Arsenal’s FA Cup campaign this season, starts in what is likely to be his last game for the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Tomas Rosicky is replaced by Santi Cazorla in midfield.
England star Jack Wilshere, who has not started a match since breaking his foot in March, is on the bench.
Opponents Hull City have opted to start the game with a formation that includes three central defenders – James Chester, Curtis Davies and Alex Bruce.
Ahmed Elmohamady and Liam Rosenior will operate as wing-backs, while Matty Fryatt features in a lone striking role.
Arsenal starting XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Giroud.
Subs: Szczesny, Vermaelen, Rosicky, Wilshere, Monreal, Flamini, Sanogo.
Hull starting XI: McGregor; Davies, Bruce, Chester, Rosenior, Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Quinn, Fryatt.
Subs: Harper, McShane, Figueroa, Koren, Boyd, Sagbo, Aluko.
