PL: Arsenal v Hull City

Doors open at 9a.

Two down, one to go for a perfect week.

Looking to make it three wins in a week, Arsenal return to the Emirates following Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League victory over Slavia Prague. Goals from Madueke and Gyökeres proved enough despite a nervy finish. The Gunners remain unbeaten in Europe, taking ten points from four matches and climbing to third in the league-phase standings, firmly in the hunt for automatic qualification to the round of 16. Sunday's statement 1-0 victory at Anfield also leaves Arteta's side top of the Premier League with 24 points from nine matches. With six changes made in Prague and another quick turnaround ahead, further rotation would be no surprise. Saliba is nearing a return from injury, while Saka remains out and Dec is, as ever, carrying some sort of knock.

Hull City arrive in N5 having made a respectable start to life back in the Premier League following last season's promotion through the Championship playoffs. The Tigers sit 11th with 11 points from nine matches, including an impressive opening-day victory over Manchester United. Their latest outing ended in a 2-2 draw with fellow promoted side Ipswich Town, while their League Cup campaign ended against Sunderland in the third round. Despite being the new kids on the block, Hull's disciplined approach has made them difficult to beat. Sergej Jakirović faces several injury concerns, with Eliot Matazo, Matt Targett, Lucas Gourna-Douath, Ilyas Ansah, Darko Gyabi and Charlie Hughes sidelined. History favors the Gunners, who have won 18 of 26 previous meetings, drawing five and losing just three. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 13 encounters with Hull, a run stretching back to 2008.

Another three points are on offer as Arsenal look to keep their place at the Premier League summit heading into the international break. Join us at Dillon's for a Saturday morning with the best supporters in Boston as we cheer on the boys against the Tigers.
