Arsene Wenger on Challenge posted by Hull City :
“They had two great performances when they were in quite a bad situation, but they had two amazing results.They’ve just beaten Liverpool at home, so we are warned that we will face a big challenge there.It looks like they will stay up with their last two results. They have made a major step.It’s very difficult to predict who will go down because I personally don’t know.It looks very, very tight. Up to 35 points, everybody can have fear [of going down].”
