Arsenal fans in uproar at Wenger selection against Hull
By Will Butcher
Arsenal fans on Twitter are in uproar at Arsene Wenger’s decision to make just one change to his side to face Hull City.
The Gunners have lost their last two matches against Chelsea and Watford, which led to the expectation Wenger would overhaul his starting XI.
However, the 67-year-old boss has decided to place his faith in almost all the players who misfired last week, with only academy product Kieran Gibbs coming in to replace Spaniard Nacho Monreal at left-back.
Arsenal announced Wenger’s selection on their official Twitter account before the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal’s poor form of late has seen them drop into fourth place, with 12 points now separating them from league leaders Chelsea.
Arsenal fans took to Twitter in disgust at Wenger’s decision not to shake things up, which sees the likes of Lucas Perez, Mohamed Elneny, Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud remain on the bench to face Marco Silva’s in-form Hull.

Hull come into the game off the back of a sublime 2-0 victory over Liverpool last weekend, as well as a crucial point against Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.
Three points for Arsenal could see them move into second place and within nine points of Antonio Conte’s league leaders, if Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea all slip up.
In other Arsenal news, Emmanuel Petit wants this man to replace Wenger if the Frenchman opts to leave at the end of his contract in the summer.
