Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of his side’s trip to the KC Stadium to face Hull City in a replay of the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The north London side failed to put a single strike beyond the Yorkshire side, with the impressive performance of Eldin Jakupovic frustrating the talented Premier League giants.
After the intensity of the game against north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, which ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to a late strike from Alexis Sanchez, rotation in the side is expected, with the likes of Alex Iwobi and Joel Campbell expected to start.
The Frenchman revealed the latest team news, as per the Mirror Online.
We lost Coquelin from his bad tackle [red card] on Saturday.
Everybody else looks medically available. Overall, we should have the same squad that went to Tottenham. Iwobi will certainly be added to the squad.
He’s a creative player with a high level of work-rate and a good level of spirit.
He’s a player who develops very well, he has a big passion for the game, can play on the flanks, can play in the middle.
I made ten changes in the first game [against Hull City]. We’ll play a team that has a good chance to qualify.
David Ospina is an example of that. I have the same respect and the same idea that every player in my squad can play and win the game tomorrow.
The Gunners will look to beat Steve Bruce’s side for the third season in a row in the competition, as they attempt to win another FA Cup in just as many years.
