With Arsenal’s makeshift defence looking the way it is at the moment, the Frenchman will need to stay alert. He will need to offer plenty of cover to his teammates, and prevent the likes of Diame getting in between the lines.

With Hull likely to play two up front and having their wing-backs overlapping, the defence will already have it’s hands full. If Flamini loses his man then Diame could cause Arsenal some serious issues.
