How the two sides could line-up in tonight’s game
In the last game of the Premier League weekend, Hull City host Arsenal at the KC Stadium with both teams needing points for different reasons.
Following their 1-0 win over Liverpool on Tuesday, Steve Bruce’s men will be in confident mood despite going up against Arsene Wenger’s side, and a win could all-but secure their safety in the Premier League.
After wins for Leicester City, Sunderland and Aston Villa, Hull are in real danger of the drop and with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur left to play, The Tigers need to start picking up points.
As for Arsenal, they need just one win to secure a top-four spot for the 19th consecutive season, but this season they are aiming for second-spot behind Chelsea.
The Gunners have two games in hand over current second, Manchester City, and with three homes games left out of the five, they will be feeling confident about their chances.
So how could Hull and Arsenal line-up for tonight’s game. We’ve taken a look into possible selections.
Hull City Line-Up
It’s expected that Hull will start with virtually the same side that beat Liverpool on Tuesday, with one exception of Nikica Jelavić coming in for Sone Aluko.
The Croatian striker is fit again and is expected to return to Bruce’s side for the visit of Arsenal. The rest of the same is expected to be the same as Bruce looks for consistency in the final few games.
Predicted Line-Up: Harper, Chester, Dawson, McShane, Elmohamady, Brady, Livermore, Quinn, Huddlestone, N’Doye, Jelavic.
Arsenal Line-Up
Fortunately for Arsene Wenger, his squad is starting to beef up for the season finale with nearly everyone fully fit and ready for selection. However, like most teams in form, consistency in the line-up has been key for The Gunners.
Despite a couple of odd changes, Wenger has been able to field the same team most weeks, and it’s believed he will field the same team yet again this evening.
Predicted Line-Up: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ozil, Ramsey, Alexis, Giroud.
What are your thoughts on these possible teams? And who do you think will be walking away with the points?
