Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Hull City

2,261 Comments
Share

The Gameweek begins at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Hull City with thousands of Fantasy Premier League armbands placed on Alexis Sanchez.

Owned by 35.3% of FPL managers and topping our Gameweek Captain Poll, the Chilean is handed the central striker role once again for the Gunners, having produced either a goal or an assist in ten of his last twelve Gameweeks.

However, Sanchez has provided just one double-digit return since his staggering 23-point haul at West Ham and he last scored big at the Emirates back in Gameweek 13 against Bournemouth.

His legion of backers will look for that trend to change in today’s outing, against a Hull City rearguard that arrives in North London on the back of successive clean sheets against Manchester United and Liverpool.

The scene is set for a classic attack vs defence encounter, with all eyes on Sanchez throughout.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Anyone seeing Ars v Hull - good game? It's hard to understand how it takes Arsenal so long to score with all their attacking talent ....

        Think being a mid it's his natural tendency to drift left. Was getting better at the lone striker role until Giroud came in. He was then forced to go wide and that's kinda stuck a little with him. He'll probably need 3-4 more games as a lone striker before he just looks like a proper striker.
