S.P.Read Esq: Arsenal v Hull
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the FA Cup third round game on Sunday between ARSENAL v HULL and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
A PROFIT ON THE RECOMMENDED BET YESTERDAY. I SOLD THE NUMBER OF 180’s AT 25.2 IN THE MVG v ANDERSON DARTS SEMI-FINAL AND IT WAS SETTLED AT 20.
The final FA Cup game of the day is an action replay of last year’s final between Arsenal and Hull which provided plenty of drama and an eventual win for Arsenal.
They were 2-0 down though inside just eight minutes but battled back with goals in both halves and eventually getting the winner through Aaron Ramsey in injury time.
Whether Hull are capable, or have the inclination, for another cup run is debatable. Steve Bruce is sure to have his focus on the league and Hull are currently sat perilously third from the bottom.
Arsenal suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton on New Year’s Day but have generally been stringing some better results together recently and are currently sixth in the Premier League.
For Arsenal, Theo Walcott is expected to start while goalkeeper David Ospina is set to replace Wojciech Szczesny.
Wenger may also give chance at some point to Mesut Ozil who is close to full fitness again after injury.
Steve Bruce has a few more problems on his hands although Tom Huddlestone and Stephen Quinn are back after suspension.
The Hull boss will be without Andrew Robertson, Liam Rosenior and Gaston Ramirez after suffering injuries against Everton.
The same fixture in the Premier League produced a 2-2 draw in October.

The bookings market makes some appeal with a buy at 31 on Star Spreads.
Today’s ref Robert Madley is averaging around 41 points so far this season and there were four yellows produced when the two sides met here in October. Hopefully the downside shouldn’t therefore be too painful.
