So, Nicklas Bendtner found the net inside two minutes on his first premier start for Arsenal in over two and a half years against Hull on Wednesday evening, after Olivier Giroud was rested ahead of a busy schedule.
This change in personnel has led to intense debate over Arsenal’s alternative options in the striking role. The Frenchmen has worked like an absolute Trojan up front all season, and has improved the finer aspects of his game significantly, as seen in his improved finishing (his near post effort to clinch the North London derby and his first time low finish away at Sunderland highlight this) and his remarkable array of assists (a deft flick for Jack Wilshere’s astonishing goal vs Norwich and his towering knock down for Aaron Ramsey’s crucial goal at Borussia Dortmund spring to mind).

After Saturdays 3-0 win in Cardiff saw Arsenal continue their lead at the top of the Premier league with a 4-point gap, the Gunners welcome newly-promoted Hull City to the Emirates.
Having made a steady start upon their return to the top flight, Hull City showed their credentials with a brilliant 3-1 win over high-flying Liverpool on Sunday, and Arsenal can guarantee that Hull will put up a good battle at the emirates on Wednesday evening.
Team News
One of Arsenal’s revitalised players this season is fullback Bacary Sagna, however, the French international is set to the miss the game against Hull due to a tight hamstring. This means that the young Englishman Carl Jenkinson is set to make his first start in over a month for the Gunners as replacement.

It is just under a month until the opening of the January transfer window, which is every Arsenal fan’s favourite time of the calendar season.
Arsene Wenger has in the past been rather critical of the mid-season transfer window. Last year he was quoted saying:
"I think it should be all completely cut out or limited to two players because it is unfair for the league. Some teams who have played Newcastle twice already have an advantage on teams who play against Newcastle now when they have bought six or seven players. They do not face the same team.”
I agree with him. However, this season Wenger has to dig into his pockets and gamble, he needs to purchase a quality player, but who?
Poor, poor, Pato
In 2007, Alexandre Pato joined then Champions League winners AC Milan and went on to score on his official debut for the club against Napoli. A great start for the highly promising youngster.

With 31 points after 13 games this has been our strongest start to a season since the invincible season in 2003-2004, although many people are still writing us off as title contenders because we have supposedly not played the big sides yet I am still very confident that the 2013-2014 Barclays Premier League title can be ours.
This is an opinion not just held by myself but by many others as well including Mikel Arteta and Wojciech Szczesny

It seems like only yesterday that the Premier League’s summer silly season saw Arsenal linked with every player in the whole of Europe, and indeed it does look as if that season has returned for its winter tenure.
The next name entering the realm of the Gunners’ rumour mill is West Bromwich Albion’s handy midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu.
Is he good ennouf?
Mulumbu has been an ever-present member of the Albion side which currently sits 12th in the League table, and despite managing just a single assist and no goals in his 13 games, Mulumbu has impressed next to midfield partner Claudio Yacob.
