Arsenal vs Hull City Predictions

• Arsenal have won eight of their nine Premier League games
• Hull are on an eight-game winless run
• The Gunners have three clean sheets in five home games (all comps)

Arsenal should ease to Hull win

Arsenal moved clear at the top of the Premier League table last weekend thanks to their win over Liverpool and they are unlikely to slip up when they host promoted Hull on Saturday.

The Tigers made an unexpected bright start to the season but their form has tailed off since as they are now winless in eight across all competitions. Hull have been tough to break down, losing just two of their nine league games (W2, D5), but it is hard to see them holding Arsenal at bay for 90 minutes.

Arsenal can win without conceding

The Gunners have won eight of their league fixtures and have a perfect record at home with five wins in as many games across all competitions. Unsurprisingly, they are the clear favourites to claim maximum points on Saturday so the best angle for a bit more value is backing the hosts to win and keep a clean sheet.

Arsenal have the best defensive record in the division with just five goals conceded and they’ve kept three clean sheets in five home games across all competitions. Hull do have a respectable strike rate but they drew a blank at Fulham in their last road game and are unlikely to make too many inroads at the Emirates against Arsenal’s solid backline.

Routine win for Arsenal

Arsenal haven’t been prolific scorers this season and they haven’t managed to score more than twice in any Premier League game since the opening round of fixtures. The Tigers are yet to concede more than twice in any competition but have conceded exactly twice in four of their last six, so a 2-0 Arsenal win stands out as a correct score option.

Bukayo Saka remains sidelined for the hosts and Noni Madueke has impressed in his absence with two goals in his last five games. Madueke scored in the midweek Champions League win over Slavia Prague and can follow that up with a strike against Hull.
