Arsenal go away to Palace managed by a caretaker manager after Holloway's dismissal. Arsenal are in great domestic form but go to Palace off the back of a loss against Dortmund.
Man City face Chelsea which means one of the two will drop points which helps us as both are currently sitting above us in the table.
Liverpool and Southampton both play at home and are in form so you would fancy them to collect all 3 points
I am still not fully recovered from the last showing at WHL. That was unacceptable and the players owe us a performance. The scenario is almost identical, we play a team we should beat after a trip away in Europe. Last time against WH i felt it was a big mistake to drop Soldado for Defoe, no more messing around please AVB.
This is what i would go with
Lloris
Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Vert
Sandro
Andros, Paulinho, Eriksen, Lennon or Siggy
Soldado
Plenty of pace and forward drive there. Sandro sitting back covering what i think is our current best possible defensive lineup.
Over to you
Team v Hull

Siggy has been average apart from the Norwich game.
I'd start Lamela on the left v hull for natural width. The only other option would be azza on the right and andros on the left, but I don't want to disrupt Townsend's rhythm on the right.

Dembele, paulinho, Townsend

Everywhere
So not only do you want to play a player who is struggling big time, but you want to change the balance of the team, and play said player out of position.
On the basis of what, that he cost £30m and did well for an Italian team?
I'm sorry but i think i better log off, as its this type of inconsistent stuff that makes me post essays.
Lets just hope for a Spurs win....I'm off...............

Chicken, siggy has not been our best player at all mate. He kind of remind of a better version of Dempsey where he scores some goals but rarely does anything else and looks a weak link in the starting 11. I never rated Dempsey mate and we were right to get rid despite his goals and although I feel siggy is better than Denpsey, he still shouldn't be in our 1st 11. Lamela come on against Cardiff and set up our winner mate. He should of immediately started the next league game after making such an impact but didn't.... Isn't it any wonder why his confidence is a bit low? Sorry but I see Lamela as being one of the best players we have and he will show that soon if given a proper chance in the league. I really hope he starts against hull and is given a massive reaction by the crowd to help him because clearly he's finding it hard to settle.

Lamela is a far better player than Siggy
He's not adapted yet, but imo confidence is the key issue. Handing him a start on sunday would boost him a lot. Also, it's not like Siggy has set the world alight. I think he's been fairly average and the West Ham game for example narrowed us and made us less effective.

Everywhere, couldn't agree more mate and Lamela is far better than siggy. Infact sigurdsson has looked pretty poor in the last 2 games against westham and Villa so if we are using chickens logic for Lamela looking poor then why the hell should siggy start? Lamela for me offers that width and skill on the opposite side to Towsend plus his goal scoring record last season speaks for itself. Give the kid a bloody chance in the league to shine

More than anything we're missing Rose...his bombing down the wing allowed Siggy to move infield. Without those runs, Siggy is still moving in and we play too narrow. Until Rose is back we need to play an out and out winger on the right...my vote right now is Lennon, though Chadli is a fair shout, as is Lamela for 30 minutes to get some game time

Its a difficult one with Lamela. He did cost 30million so expectations are high. Its not really fair on the bloke - he didn't set his own price, he is still a young guy and has to go through the ropes before we see what he is really about. Really unfair to judge him this early.
If he was to score just one goal - pick any of his goals for roma for example - most would want him in the starting line up the next week and the general tardiness of his play would be ignored. Bale last season for example was quite in a lot of the games where he ended up taking the headlines by scoring a wordly
