I think Hull's guaranteed Europe regardless of what happens today or in the FA Cup final. Arsenal go on to finish fourth, Hull gets Europa spot through FA Cup final, win or lose. Arsenal finish fifth, same thing. I can't think of a scenario -- apart from a total collapse by Man City to drop out of the top four -- where Hull wouldn't get into the Europa as fifth and sixth in the league are already in by way of City's League Cup win.
Long story short, they don't benefit from losing this game today any more than they would by winning or drawing.

Runner up of FA cup only gets the spot in EL if the winner is in champs league.
