Despite going one behind within a minute upon their return to Champions League action, the Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern are optimistic. 

Following two wins on the bounce, the Gunners finally have some momentum heading into their trip to Hull City on Saturday evening.

While the Tigers have made a strong start to the campaign in light of their situation, our North London locals expect nothing less than a win.

Frustratingly for them, whenever the pressure and expectation are turned on, Arsene Wenger and his side tend to crumble somewhat.

Still, the sheer strength of their side will surely make them favourites for the Humberside adventure.

That being said, the Emirates goers have been discussing exactly how they should line up at the KCOM Stadium.

Weighing all the options up, here’s the eleven they seemed to have settled on.

Here’s the Arsenal XI to DOMINATE Hull City on Saturday evening.

GK: Petr Cech

Likely to be handed his starting berth again, Petr Cech is Wenger’s Premier League pillar between the posts.

RB: Hector Bellerin

With the hosts likely to park men behind the ball, the Spaniard’s explosive pace will be vital to their cause.

CB: Laurent Koscielny

Arsenal’s pillar in central defence, the classy Frenchman is absolutely crucial to Wenger’s title hopes.

CB: Shkodran Mustafi

Looked shaky against PSG, though the German is still getting to grips to life at Arsenal.

Perfect opportunity to get a solid performance under his belt.

LB: Nacho Monreal

Dependable as the Spaniard is, his limitations were evident on Tuesday night in the French capital.

Still, it’s unlikely he’ll be tested quite as much on Humberside.

CM: Granit Xhaka

Bizarrely dropped for the Champions League, Granit Xhaka is slowly showing he can be the engine room midfield lynchpin the Gunners crave so badly.

Likely to find plenty of space, his distribution will be dangerous.

CM: Santi Cazorla

The man can simply do everything.

No real need for a true midfield bruiser, the Spaniard will keep the ball ticking over and support attacks.

RM: Theo Walcott

Not the most inspiring of names, though Walcott’s pace in breaking through the Tigers’ pack defence could provide a better outlet than Lucas Perez.

CAM: Mest Ozil

The Gunners’ best player without a doubt, the World Cup winner will be looking to get into full swing on Humberside.

LM: Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal’s saviour in Paris, Alexis Sanchez’s all-action forward play should give the hosts plenty to think about.

ST: Olivier Giroud

Suspended for European outings, Olivier Giroud will be perfect for a game like this.

Tailor made to give the defenders a physical battle, expect the Frenchman to get off the mark.
