Hull hero David Meyler has Arsenal in his sights
DAVID MEYLER has warned Arsenal to expect one Hull of a fight as the Tigers eye a big chance to upset the odds once again.
The midfielder grabbed his first goal of the season on Sunday as Steve Bruce’s men stunned Liverpool 3-1 at the KC Stadium.
Hull now face the daunting task of taking on the league leaders at the Emirates tomorrow.
Meyler, however, insists the visitors are more than up to the challenge.
The 24-year-old said: “We’ve got to go there and put on a hell of a show.
“Liverpool have got world-class players, like Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard, but at times they couldn’t get near our lads.
“We’ll have to be even better than we were against Liverpool.
“They have got the likes of Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey, who’s on absolute fire.
“We’ve got to go there and stick to a game plan and work hard.
“It’s a tight-knit squad where we’re all the best of pals and we’ll look forward to Arsenal.
“We need to play in the same way if we’re going to give them a run for their money.”
Meyler played a big part in helping Hull get promoted after joining them from Sunderland last season.“It’s great for the confidence of everyone. All the players are delighted”David Meyler
But he has made only five starts this season and vowed to be ready whenever he is called upon by Bruce.
He added: “He showed a lot of faith in me at 19 when we were at Sunderland.
“He threw me in then so he knows what he’ll get out of me. I work my socks off for 90 minutes and give him everything I have.
“He knows that and I’m just delighted to have had the opportunity.”
Meyler’s goal against Liverpool put Hull 2-1 up after Gerrard’s free-kick cancelled out Jake Livermore’s opener, before an own-goal from Martin Skrtel sealed the win.
It was the perfect response after suffering their first home defeat against Crystal Palace a week earlier.
And the Irishman added: “It’s great for the confidence of everyone. All the players are delighted.
“It’s fantastic. I’m delighted to get my first goal but more importantly to get the three points.
“We had a disappointing result against Palace, so to bounce back like we did and score three goals against a fantastic side that be will pushing all the way for the league, we’re obviously thrilled.”
