WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY<\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: <\/b>“We play them every year in the FA Cup!<\/p>\n “We know them well and they are in a strong position in the Championship.<\/p>\n “We will play a strong side. A normal side.”<\/p>\n Hull City manager Steve Bruce on loan signing Nick Powell:<\/b> “He will have a big part to play in the coming weeks. I’ve told him that. He’s versatile and can play as a striker or as a midfielder and I’m sure he can give us that bit of impetus.<\/p>\n “He’ll definitely play on Saturday, as will all of the ones who haven’t been playing recently.<\/p>\n “Making changes is the only option I’ve got. After Arsenal, we play again on Tuesday and then Friday so I have to make sure we’re fresh enough to compete in those games as well.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MATCH FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Head-to-head<\/b><\/p>\n Arsenal<\/b><\/p>\n Hull City<\/b><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Source: BBC Sport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is expected to rest his key players with Tuesday’s Barcelona match in mind.
