Since arriving at Hull in January, Dame N'Doye has scored five goals in nine Premier League starts. His predatory instinct is key to Hull's hopes of surviving in the Premier League, and he looks like the man most likely to net against Arsenal at the KC Stadium.

Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny will have to be on their toes to ensure N'Doye does not get the opportunity to shoot down the Gunners.

Arsenal: Hector Bellerin

Hector Bellerin has been one of the surprise stars of Arsenal's season.

In this game, he will have the dual purpose of subduing Robbie Brady and providing Arsenal with an attacking outlet on the right flank. With Aaron Ramsey driving infield ahead of him, it's essential Bellerin gives the Gunners width.
