Arsenal host Hull City at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Arsenal’s team news is dominated by absences: the thigh-injured Bukayo Saka and the back-injured William Saliba are both out, and the suspended Max Dowman misses out too, while the doubtful Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, Chukwunonso Madueke and Christos Tzolis are all touch-and-go. Kai Havertz, who has 2 goals and 7 shots on target in 589 minutes, remains the attacking midfielder Arsenal build around, with centre-back Gabriel (1 goal from 9 shots) a threat at set pieces. Hull City’s injury list is longer: the injured Eliot Matazo, Matt Targett, Lucas Gourna-Douath, Ilyas Ansah, Darko Gyabi and Charlie Hughes are all out, with goalkeeper Jack Butland a doubt. Mohamed Belloumi (3 goals from 23 shots) and striker Oliver McBurnie (2 goals, 9 chances created) remain Hull’s most dangerous attacking threats on the road.

Arsenal vs Hull City Prediction
Arsenal’s +8 goal difference across 8 games and Hull’s propensity to draw instead of win (5 draws from 9 games) point toward a tight, controlled afternoon rather than an avalanche of goals. We’re backing Arsenal to edge it 1-0, with Kai Havertz’s 2 goals and 14 shots this season putting him squarely in the frame to provide the moment of quality that decides it.
