Mike Phelan would virtually guarantee being
appointed manager of Hull by beating
Arsenal after a strong start to his time as
caretaker. However, the likelihood is slim
considering the home side have beaten
Arsenal once in 18 meetings. Arsène Wenger should have great faith three points will be banked here. The visitors have been prolific at the Kcom Stadium,
winning five out of five. Graham Searles
