Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger claims that their FA Cup game against Hull City is the most important game of their lives. The Gunners failed to secure the important win at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the fixture, hence forcing a rematch as a result of a goalless draw.
On the other hand, their weekday hosts are riding high on the Championship table; they currently sit at the third position with 64 points, four behind leaders Burnley FC.
Arsene Wenger is expected to field a strong squad to increase their chance of winning this crucial fixture. A loss of any kind will send either side crashing out of the tournament, and that explains why the Frenchman believes that this could be the most important game of their lives ahead of their visit to the KC Stadium.
By virtue of being the defending champions, Arsenal come into this fixture with an added advantage but Hull will not be willing to let it go that easily. The Gunners are currently on a five-match winless streak in all competitions and Steve Bruce’s men could frustrate them further by bundling them out of the tournament if their performance in the first leg is anything to go by.
Watch the video interview below:
Wenger is in a dilemma ahead of this fixture; he has to field a strong squad to face Hull and still have enough strength to face giant-slayers West Bromwich Albion over the weekend in a bid to keep their FA Cup and Premier League hopes alive. Afterwards, they will travel to the Camp Nou to face Barcelona in the return leg of their Champions League last 16 fixture after losing 2-0 in the first leg.
