Arsenal travel to Hull knowing that a point will seal St Totteringham’s Day for the umpteenth year in a row.
With Manchester United also losing at the weekend, the Gunners can move five points clear of the Old Trafford side with a game in hand if they secure all three points at the KC while they will also retake second place with an unlikely five-goal winning margin. They will also have a game in hand over City after tonight’s match.
A win would also, effectively, seal a top four finish as Liverpool’s goal difference is +11 while Arsenal’s is +31 before the game. The maximum points Liverpool can achieve this season is 70 while Arsenal currently have 67. The most Tottenham can reach is 67.
Arsenal go into the game against Hull with an unchanged lineup. Danny Welbeck is missing from the bench after picking up a knee injury.
Laurent Koscielny makes his 200th appearance for the club.
Here are the teams for Monday night’s game:
Hull: Harper; Chester, Dawson, McShane; Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Livermore, Quinn, Brady; Aluko, N’Doye.
Subs: McGregor, Rosenior, Bruce, Meyler, Hernández, Jelavic, Robertson.
Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud.
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Gabriel, Flamini, Wilshere, Rosicky, Walcott.
