Deco: Porto can do a Hull and win at Arsenal
Chelsea midfielder Deco believes his former club Porto can follow in the footsteps of Hull and spring another surprise at the Emirates Stadium when they visit Arsenal this week.
Arsenal suffered a shock loss to unfancied City on Saturday when they squandered a lead to lose 2-1 at their north London home.
It was only the second time Arsene Wenger's side had lost at the Emirates and Deco believes Porto can further tarnish that record when they meet in their Champions League tie on Tuesday.
"FC Porto have the chance to win the game, but it will depend on how committed they are," Deco told Portuguese national radio station Antena 1.
"If they (Porto] don't get affected by the atmosphere in the stadium, then the game will be balanced, and then they could win it.
"Arsenal are an unpredictable team because they have such a young squad. They play a good game one day and a bad one the next."
