The man tasked with performing the miracle Hull City require to avoid relegation from the Premier League takes his Tigers to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday bolstered by the fact that they have taken seven points from the 12 available to them in matches against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.
