Arsenal – Hull City

Arsenal head into the Emirates as clear favourites, sitting second in the table with 18 points from seven games – six wins and just one loss, and a comfortable 11‑5 goal difference. Hull City, currently ninth with nine points, have struggled for consistency, managing only two victories, three draws and two defeats while scraping a modest +1 goal margin. The gap between the two sides is stark, with Arsenal averaging nearly two points per game compared with Hull’s 1.3, and the Gunners’ defence has conceded half as many goals as the visitors. If Hull hope to cause an upset, they will need to tighten up at the back and find a way to breach a solid Arsenal side that has yet to drop points at home this season. A win for Arsenal would likely cement their push for the top spot, while Hull would be looking to close the gap on the European places.
