George Boateng insist that Hull City can get something from their trip to Arsenal.

The Tigers travel to Emirates Stadium on Saturday knowing they face a daunting task against an in-form Arsenal side who have won their last three Premier League games.

But Boateng says as long as Hull stick together and play as a team, there is no reason why they cannot get something.

"I think people don't see it as their biggest test because they don't think we will get anything there," Boateng told Sky Sports News.

"But Hull is playing well, the team is playing well, the boys are enjoying it and everyone in the camp is looking forward to upsetting the odds."

Former Dutch international Boateng looks back to last season when, with Middlesbrough, he earned a draw and he thinks Hull could easily repeat that feat.

"Last year we got a draw with Middlesbrough, and it is difficult as they have a very good team, good players," he said.

"But from experience I know it is not only about good players but it is a team effort and if Hull City have a good team effort and go there and play as a team then we have as good a chance as Arsenal."
