CB: Laurent Koscielny
It was Koscielny’s absence that was perhaps the key reason Hull were able to cause a makeshift Arsenal backline so many problems in that 2-2 draw in October, he has been crucial to his side’s recent good form.
CB: Per Mertesacker
Scored in the FA Cup tie at the Emirates in January but don’t expect similar exploits this time around. Arsenal almost seem to be putting defence over attack as of late – who’d have thought that would ever have been the case under Arsene Wenger?
