Arsenal host Hull City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, with the league leaders chasing a ninth win in ten games against a Hull side winless in five. Arsenal sit top of the table on 24 points from nine games, 13 points ahead of Hull in 11th.
This Arsenal vs Hull City prediction looks one-sided for bettors because Arsenal have conceded only five league goals all season — the best defensive record in the division — while Hull have drawn five of their first nine league games and have not won since September.
Arsenal vs Hull City Match Preview
Arsenal’s recent run has been strong: a 2-1 Champions League win at Slavia Prague and a 1-0 league win at Liverpool followed a 1-1 draw at Fleetwood Town, with a 2-0 win over Everton and a 2-2 Champions League draw at Bayern Munich before that. Hull, meanwhile, drew 2-2 with Ipswich and 1-1 with Brentford, lost 1-0 at Fulham, drew 2-2 with Everton and lost 2-1 at Newcastle.

Key Stats
- Arsenal have conceded only five league goals this season, the best defensive record in the Premier League, and only twice in four home league games.
- Hull City have drawn five of their first nine league games and are winless in five in all competitions.
- The clubs have not met since February 2017, so the head-to-head history carries little predictive weight for this game.
2-0 is our correct-score prediction: Arsenal’s defence and home form should carry them through comfortably, and Hull’s scoring struggles point to another blank.
