Hull City midfielder Tim Iroegbunam believes the Tigers have what it takes to spring a major surprise when they face Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Sergej Jakirović’s side head into North London facing a formidable task against a Gunners team that reclaimed top spot following a 1–0 victory over Liverpool last Sunday.

Despite the gulf in league standings, recent setbacks for Mikel Arteta’s side, including surprising cup and domestic defeats, have given the visiting Tigers plenty of encouragement.
Iroegbunam, who bagged his first Premier League goal in Saturday’s 2–2 draw against Ipswich Town, insists Hull will travel to the capital devoid of fear.
“That’s one of those games where they’re expected to win almost, so we’ll just give it our all,” Iroegbunam told Hull Live.

“It’s not like it hasn’t been done before; like they haven’t been beaten. It’s possible. We’ll give it our all, and we’ll see what happens.”
Acknowledging the quality of their hosts while pointing to the competitive nature of English football, the midfielder added:
“We know they’re a good side, but in the Premier League, anyone can beat anyone. We’ll go into the game looking to win, as we do with every game, and whatever happens will happen.”
