Hull v Arsenal Preview
by SamuelJayC Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:49 am
Hull v Arsenal, Sunday 20th April 2.05pm, The KC Stadium, Premier League
Giroud & Podolski fired Arsenal past West Ham on Tuesday evening
Premier League
1. Liverpool 77pts
2. Chelsea 75pts
3. Man City 71pts
4. Arsenal 67pts
--------------
5. Everton 66pts
--------------
13. Hull 36pts
Hull stand between Arsenal & a successful season
Arsenal have 5 fixtures remaining this season, two of them are against Hull City. Those two games are likely to define the success of Arsène Wenger's side's campaign. Victory at The KC Stadium on Sunday afternoon could, potentially, all but ensure a 17th successive year in the Champions League, given the difficulty of Everton's last four Premier League fixtures.
"We kept our nerve when we were 1-0 down against West Ham," Wenger said at Friday's press conference. "You could see the lift that we got from winning on Saturday in the semi-final." Of course, as a result of that victory at Wembley last weekend, the gunners will meet with Hull, again, next month in the FA Cup final. It all means Steve Bruce's team can, ultimately, be Arsenal's 2013/14 party poopers.
"I'd love to beat Arsenal because that would mean we were 100 per cent safe in my eyes," Bruce - who Wenger has tipped to win the Manager of the Season award - told reporters this week. Forwards Nikica Jelavić and Shane Long - both of whom will be ineligible at Wembley - have flourished at Hull since arriving in January. Ahmed Elmohamady is a constant menace down the right-hand side, whilst Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore have proved to be an impressive combination in central midfield.
"Overall I feel Hull have had a good season because they are in the cup final and they are safe in the Premier League," said Wenger.

Great job Sam.
No excuse a must win game, we could easily drop points if we are not on our game. No easy games in EPL and Wenger said Giroud is back at his best,
lets see if he scores one more goal. Relegation threatened teams become so dangerous around this time of the season, I hope we take care of them early and relax.
-------Szczesny
Sagna--Mert---Kos---Vermalen
-----Flamini--Ramsey
-Oxlade-----Cazorla---Podolski
---------Giroud

Arsenal bolster hotel security after series
of late-night problems
Poor Giroud no more scoring off the field for him.

Hull City will secure European football if we finish 4th, maybe a little bit help along the way? 
They have nothing to fight for, probably already looking forward to the final, we should win really if we're at our best.

Should be a routine match really.
A good warm up for the final of the FA cup. Good to see Ozil back. Ramsey will be more sharp too.
Hope Oxlade is better.

Özil coming back straight into the starting line-up. Flamini has to settle for a place on the bench as Arteta starts this one.
