Hello and welcome to live coverage of Arsenal versus Hull. Steve Bruce is here. Get excited.

Jakupovic replaces Harper, who injures himself by crouching down and hurting his left arm, quite odd. Chester is booked for a sliding challenge on the left wing.

The corner is headed away.

Cazorla's free kick clips Huddlestone's head and goes over for a corner on the left. Up comes Mertesacker.

Huddlestone trips Wilshere 25 yards from goal as he skittles past him. Cazorla is looking like the favourite to take at the moment.

Cazorla chases down Elmohamady. He's actually not been too bad in this match, in terms of workrate. In terms of being any good, constructively speaking. Er, no.

Welbeck falls to the ground as he volleys into a defender's shins. It's like watching Wayne Rooney.

Elmohamady sprints 50 yards up the pitch, plays the ball inside, and the ball is then worked back to the 'keeper.

Cazorla tries a couple of stepovers, makes some room on the edge of the area and trundles in a poor left-footed shot for Harper to save comfortable.

Elmohamady asks himself, "what would Bebe do?" and boots a cross straight out of play with a wild volley.

Wilshere steams in, and uses his Gazza arms to push Diame to the floor. A Hull free kick in midfield.

Huddlestone ways up a pass into the box, slides it through, and it doesn't go anywhere except out.

Welbeck loses out to a perfectly good tackle by Diame, but this time the referee does blow his whistle. Textbook incompetence.

Apologies, some mild technical problems - the computer plug had been put into a cup of Tizer.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-1 Hull. Diame scores. Diame barges through the Arsenal defence, clambers all over the back of Flamini - an obvious foul - and the referee does nothing. He continues his run and dinks his shot over the 'keeper.

Arsenal are now comfortable in posession, and as long as Hull don't get near their box, they'll be fine,.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Hull. Sanchez scores. Sanchez dismantles Davies on the corner of the box, dances past him and then drags a fierce shot into the far corner.

Welbeck attempts to hook a volley towards goal, but it's absolutely miles over.

Cazorla shoots from 25 yards, aiming a shot into the top corner, but Harper pulls off a great diving stop to save.

Harper gets down swiftly to grab Oxlade-Chamberlain's low cross. He span towards goal after receiving Cazorla's pass.

A deep cross from Hull is headed into Szczesny's arms, and Arsenal instantly hit back with a ball over the top for Welbeck, who strikes his shot straight at Harper.

Alexis Sanchez gets to the byline and clips a cross back towards Jack Wilshere, who glances wide.
