Written off as promoted no-hopers, manager-less and under-strength Hull City are defying expectations in the Premier League.The Tigers (2-1-1) are burning brighter than anyone could have predicted, as the opening month of Premier League action has seen them pick up seven points from four games, despite not having a permanent head coach and barely being able to cobble together a commendable 18-man squad from their threadbare number.Back-to-back wins was an unexpected start to the season for Hull. However, Robert Snodgrass sublime free-kick equaliser last week against Burnley has kept the Humberside clubs momentum going ahead of their biggest test of the season so far -- Saturdays visit of Arsene Wengers Arsenal.It will be a tough game against a top team full of excellent players, but the spotlight will be on Arsenal, said Hull caretaker manager Mike Phelan. Weve conducted ourselves really well so far and well be up for this challenge.Our players are enjoying themselves in the Premier League and Saturdays game is another great one for us to take on board. Its about how we approach the game and its important that we show our true selves, like we have done in recent games.Arsenal (2-1-1) have endured an opening month of the season that has featured the all-too familiar mix of moderate highs and crushing lows -- at least in the eyes of some of the clubs more reactionary fans.However, a slightly fortuitous win over Southampton last weekend and an equally fortunate draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday has gone some way to steadying the Gunners ship after a tumultuous first few weeks of the season.Wenger surprised many with a weakened team selection to face PSG, including the choice of David Ospina over Petr Cech in goal. The Czech veteran is expected to return to face Hull, despite Ospinas excellent showing in that game, but Wenger believes he was right to rotate his keepers.I have two world-class goalkeepers, I will repeat that (rotation), Wenger said. I know we have enough games to give them games… you cannot keep two world-class goalkeepers that dont get games.Wenger may have a luxury of riches between the sticks, but he remains weakened in defence due to the long-term injury problems of Per Mertesacker and Carl Jenkinson.Utility forward Danny Welbeck sits alongside the defensive pair in the treatment room, with the England international still six months away from a comeback. But Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey are expected to be fit for the trip to the northeast after recovering from knocks.Hull remain without defenders Alex Bruce and Michael Dawson.The Tigers famously beat Arsenal in their first ever meeting with the Gunners in September 2008, but have not managed a league win over Wengers side since, losing six and drawing once.That win came away in north London, meaning that Arsenal have never tasted defeat in Kingston-upon-Hull. Wengers side have also not been beaten in any of the four FA Cup meetings between the two in the last three seasons. Should Arsenal win again, they would take their tally of wins at the KCOM Stadium up to six -- more than any other visitors to Hulls West Park. Brazil Soccer Jersey .

Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Custom Brazil Soccer Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Luiz Gustavo Brazil Jersey . PAUL, Minn. ST. LOUIS -- Lost in the dominant shutout tossed by Adam Wainwright Saturday night was some good situational hitting by the St. Louis Cardinals in the bottom of the third inning.Four consecutive hitters stepped to the plate with a man at second and no outs. Aledmys Diaz walked. Stephen Piscotty doubled home two runs. Randal Grichuk doubled in Piscotty, and Matt Adams singled Grichuk home.That sequence sealed St. Louis 5-0 win over the Miami Marlins, setting up Sundays rubber game between the National League wild-card hopefuls in Busch Stadium.Those guys werent going up there, just giving themselves up to move the runner over, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. They had good, solid at-bats, took good passes at the ball.Piscotty, Grichuk and Tommy Pham -- the teams outfield of the future, the outfielders that management bet on in the offseason when Jason Heyward left for the Chicago Cubs -- combined for five hits, three runs and three RBI in 12 plate appearances, drawing a pair of walks as well.While Matheny seems willing to give veteran Matt Holliday every chance to regain his form, despite Hollidays average dropping to .237 after going 0-for-4 Friday night, Pham is elbowing his way into the conversation.Pham has notched extra-base hits in four straight games and is 5-for-8 in this series, cracking two homers Friday night. Limited to 53 big league at-bats after missing nearly 2 1/2 months with an oblique injury suffered on Opening Day in Pittsburgh and a month-long stint in the minors, Pham is showing his vast ability..ddddddddddddHes playing an exciting style of baseball, too, Matheny said. Lots of speed, lots of power. Hes making the most of it.Pham should be back in the lineup Sunday when Miami (48-42) marches lefty Adam Conley (6-5, 3.62) to the mound. Conley is coming off a 4-2 win July 9 over the Cincinnati Reds, and averages nearly a strikeout an inning, although he also issues nearly four walks per nine innings.This will be the first time Conley has faced St. Louis in a regular season game, although hes probably seen it at least once in exhibition games as the teams share a spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla.The same goes for Cardinals right hander Michael Wacha (5-7, 4.36), who hasnt pitched since going 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision on July 8 in Milwaukee. Wacha departed that game after being struck with a comebacker in the right heel, but wasnt seriously injured.Even though the calendar says July 17 and the teams will have 71 games remaining after this one, there is some importance to this one. The Marlins enter tied with the New York Mets for the National Leagues second wild-card spot, while St. Louis (47-43) is a game back.Saturday nights 5-0 setback snapped a four-game winning streak for Miami, but it didnt spend much time dwelling on that result against a hot pitcher whos allowed only one run over his last 23 innings.Tomorrows a new day, man, Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich said.
