Arsenal v Hull City: Confirmed team news and line-ups for clash in North London

Arsenal return to the Emirates Stadium this afternoon looking to make it five consecutive Premier League wins when they host Hull City.

Mikel Artetaโ€™s side have enjoyed an excellent start to their title defence, winning eight of their opening nine league matches to move three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.

The Gunners claimed an impressive 1-0 win away to Liverpool last weekend, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal at Anfield to become the highest-scoring German player in Premier League history.

They followed that up with a 2-1 Champions League win over Slavia Prague on Wednesday, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring once and setting up Noni Madueke for the other.

Arsenal could move six points clear of City with another win this afternoon, before their title rivals face Nottingham Forest later in the day.

Hull, meanwhile, have found life back in the Premier League challenging after an encouraging start under Sergej Jakirovic.

The Tigers won their opening two league matches against Manchester United and Coventry but have since gone seven games without a win.

Five draws during that run have helped Hull remain 11th in the table with 11 points, although they were held to a 2-2 draw by fellow promoted side Ipswich last weekend.
