Hull City Round-Up, Friday 6th November: Jakirovic Plots Tactical Upset as Tigers Head to Arsenal
Attention turns to the Emirates Stadium this weekend as Hull City prepare for a daunting trip to Arsenal, with the Tigers looking for their first win there since 2008 (HullLive). Manager Sergej Jakirovic is reportedly weighing up a change of approach for the game, with a tactical plan said to be aimed at causing a major upset against the Premier League's big guns (HullLive). There's also a look at how City might line up for the clash, with a predicted XI doing the rounds as Jakirovic considers his options (HullLive).
Elsewhere, Hull City also featured on the fixture list against Bournemouth in the Premier League this season, with the Cherries one of the sides the Tigers have faced on their top-flight return (Football365).
In the city's other big sporting news, Hull FC's rugby league side have been making headlines of their own, with new coach Steve McNamara holding his first press conference since taking charge. McNamara used the platform to discuss recruitment plans, departures, and the futures of Aidan Sezer and James Bell as he begins shaping his squad. While that's a rugby league story rather than Hull City affairs, it shows the sporting spotlight on Hull this week extends beyond the Tigers' Premier League examination at Arsenal.
