Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Arsenal and Hull City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at the Emirates in London and can be live streamed here free.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via the Daily Mail): "We won the FA Cup with a difficult run, but we managed to deliver the trophy and it makes us stronger, more confident and I believe we will have a strong season. We bought good players. I believe we've done remarkably well in the transfer market. We wanted one more player, but couldn't. We will try to rectify that in January."
"We have a good core of young British players, who feel the value of our club," he added. "Slowly, the modern game has lost that, but we need your support again. I encourage [the fans] to be behind us. You [the fans] are magnificent, and I'm sure we will come out this season more united and stronger."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Hull City's Mohamed Diame has three goals in four appearances for the club this season. His average of 4.5 tackles per match, however, will be needed to keep possession from a potent Arsenal attack.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Szczesny; Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin; Flamini; Sanchez, Wilshere, Cazorla, Ox; Welbeck
Hull City's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Harper; Davies, Dawson, Chester; Robertson, Diame, Huddlestone, Livermore, Elmohamady; Hernandez, Jelavic
