Arsenal welcome Hull City to the Emirates Stadium this afternoon for their final Premier League fixture before the November international break. Victory at Liverpool last time out opened up a three-point gap over Manchester City at the top of the standings, and that gap could grow by the end of today.
Team News and Fitness Concerns
There are question marks over Ezri Konsa's fitness, and William Saliba could today make a long-awaited return from injury. Noni Madueke will have a point to prove after his surprise England squad snub.
Arsenal were given a scare in midweek by a plucky Slavia Prague side, who went down 2-1 at home but missed a host of chances in the second half to snatch a point. Mikel Arteta will know a similar display today could well go punished by the Tigers, who have not won since August but are proving tough nuts to crack upon their return to the top flight.
Match Preview and Kick-off
The Gunners are looking to become just the third team to beat the promoted Tigers this season. Arsenal will be looking to open up a six-point gap at the top of the table before Manchester City face Nottingham Forest this evening. Then it is the last international break until March.
Kick-off is at 3pm, with Matt Verri at the Emirates for today's coverage.
