Arsenal vs Hull City Prediction and Preview: Premier League

Table-topping Arsenal host newly promoted Hull City on Saturday 7 November at 15:00. Form, head-to-head, team news and the numbers behind the match.
Arsenal top the Premier League and face Hull City, 11th, at home on Saturday 7 November at 15:00 UK time. On paper it is a lopsided fixture, but the details of form, team news and recent scoring patterns give a fuller picture.
Lineups are not out yet, so everything on team news below is provisional. As with any football match, nothing here is certain, and betting carries risk.
Arsenal form and league position
Arsenal sit first with 24 points from nine games and a goal difference of plus nine. Their league form reads WWWWL, and they have won all four home matches so far. Over those nine games they have kept six clean sheets and failed to score only once.
At the Emirates they average 2.3 goals scored and 0.5 conceded per game this season. In their last six home games with full statistics, they scored in every one and went over 2.5 goals in five of them. Their latest results include a 1-0 win at Liverpool and a 2-1 win at Slavia Praha in the Champions League.
Hull City form and away record
Hull are 11th with 11 points and a goal difference of plus one. Their last five league results are DDLDL, and they have drawn four of their five home games. Away from home they have won one, drawn one and lost two of their four, averaging 1.0 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game.
Over the last seven away games with statistics, Hull have scored in five and gone over 2.5 goals in two. Their most recent outings were a 2-2 draw with Ipswich and a 1-1 draw with Brentford. Over the last 12 months in the competitions we track, they have failed to score in 25% of all games.
Head-to-head and team news
Arsenal have won each of the last five meetings bar one, a 0-0 draw in February 2016. The most recent was a 2-0 home win in February 2017, and the last ten meetings include no Hull victory. These games are several years old, so they say little about today's squads.
On team news, William Saliba is back from a back injury and in contention alongside Ezri Konsa, while Piero Hincapie is expected to be out for several weeks. A Saka injury was reported earlier, with no confirmed update in our sources. Bruno Guimaraes, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz started on the bench in Prague, which may point to some rotation. For Hull, Hidemasa Morita is out for several weeks, and Konstantinos Tzolakis looks set to keep his place in goal ahead of Jack Butland.
