Wenger - Hull will pose a big challenge

Arsene Wenger expects his team to face a “big challenge” at Hull City on Monday night.

Steve Bruce’s side have moved out of the Premier League relegation zone in the last week after recording impressive back-to-back victories over Crystal Palace and Liverpool.

The Arsenal manager feels that Hull will stay in the division and says their recent results should act as a warning to his players.

“They had two great performances when they were in quite a bad situation, but they had two amazing results,” the manager said. “They’ve just beaten Liverpool at home, so we are warned that we will face a big challenge there.

“It looks like they will stay up with their last two results. They have made a major step.

“It’s very difficult to predict who will go down because I personally don’t know.

“It looks very, very tight. Up to 35 points, everybody can have fear [of going down].”
