Hatem Ben Arfa is poised to make his first start for Hull City tonight in the League Cup Round of 16 clash against West Bromwich Albion.
After:
Making a substitute appearance against West Ham (2-2),
And being left out of the squad against Newcastle last weekend,
…the French playmaker, on loan from Newcastle United, is now expected to start in a central attacking midfield role, operating just behind the two forwards.
Hull City coach Steve Bruce reportedly has full confidence in Ben Arfa, and this match could mark the beginning of a more prominent role for him in the team.
Hull City’s probable lineup:
Harper – Chester, Bruce, McShane – Rosenior, Livermore, Meyler, Brady – Ben Arfa – Aluko, Sagbo.
This appearance could be pivotal for Ben Arfa as he looks to revive his career and make a fresh impact at Hull.
