What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via the club's official website): "I want him [Francis Coquelin] to have a future here. It's always very difficult because you want to have a big squad. But when you have a big squad, it means that many players are not playing and all the players who are not playing are impatient, frustrated and want to play. He is one of the players who has gone through difficult times, but he kept his focus, worked very hard and I hope he will be rewarded for that."
Hull City manager Steve Bruce (via Hull Daily Mail): "There's been many times when we've been up in games, and when you lose those leads it does drain a lot of confidence from you. It could have been three wins really [if not for a 1-0 loss to Leicester]. There's still a long way to go, but we've caught a few. There's eight or nine teams in it, and we're in a far more healthy position now than we were this time a week ago."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Arsenal's Theo Walcott is slowly returning from an injury that kept him out of a majority of the 2014 calendar year. The 25-year-old has only featured in 52 league minutes, but will have an opportunity to start on Sunday.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Chambers; Coquelin, Flamini; Chamberlain, Cazorla, Walcott; Sanchez
Hull City's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): McGregor; Bruce, Davies, Chester; Rosenior, Huddlestone, Livermore, Meyler, Elmohamady; Jelavic, Hernandez
