Confirmed Arsenal Team v Hull City: Confirmed Arsenal Team v Hull City: Havertz Leads the Line as Arteta Rings the Changes

Arsenal return to the Emirates this afternoon looking to secure another Premier League victory and temporarily extend their lead over Manchester City to six points. Following three consecutive away fixtures, including that memorable victory at Anfield, Mikel Arteta’s side will be determined to maintain their momentum before the international break. Newly promoted Hull City arrive without a league victory in their last seven matches, but the Tigers have shown enough this season to suggest they shouldn’t be underestimated. As we discussed in our earlier coverage of Hull’s performances , Arteta has been keen to ensure his players approach this encounter with the right attitude. Arteta’s Confirmed Arsenal Team Against Hull William Saliba is available again following his lengthy injury absence, while Bukayo Saka remains sidelined and Max Dowman serves the second match of his domestic suspension. With several regular starters rested during the midweek victory in Prague, Arteta has plenty of options as Arsenal look to make home advantage count. Confirmed Arsenal Starting XI: Mikel Arteta has brought several familiar faces back into his starting eleven following the midweek victory in Prague, with Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis all starting against Hull. Ezri Konsa continues alongside Gabriel in central defence, while Noni Madueke retains his place in attack. William Saliba has not been rushed back into the starting lineup, with Arteta looking to maintain Arsenal’s winning momentum before the international break. Can Arsenal Maintain Their Winning Run? Arsenal have been particularly impressive defensively this season, and another clean sheet would provide the perfect platform for victory.
