Analysis:
Arsene Wenger have openly admitted about the congestion of fixtures coming into this match while Hull City have not played since 12th December but it will not stop the Gunners from going out to get the win here.
In midweek Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Turdmoor by Burnley, but then last Sunday they defied the odds and beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield.
Hull, who are just one point clear of the relegation zone, travel to London with fresh legs after Everton's Europa League commitments allowed them more time to rest. Their last match was a goalless draw against Blackburn at home and Phil Brown will be looking to take advantage of the Gunners busy schedule.
As for the team news, Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out of the game against Hull after suffering a hamstring injury in midweek clash with Burnley. Denilson could replace the Gunners' skipper on Saturday after recovering from a back problem which forced him to miss the midweek clash. However, Wenger will still be without Nicklas Bendtner, Tomas Rosicky, Gael Clichy and Armand Traore.
Hull have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to London after managing to avoid casualties in their free week training. Manager Phil Brown is missing only midfielder Jimmy Bullard¸ who damaged a medial ligament at Aston Villa a fortnight ago, and long-term casualty Ian Ashbee, both with knee problems.
Brown has revealed the recent absence of striker Daniel Cousin was due to his shoulder injury and not because he is out of favour. The Gabon international is now fit and could be in contention.
Take Arsenal to win and give the 1 3/4 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
