Players to watch
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's top scorer in the Premier League this season with 3 goals. With his side scoring regularly, he is the name the visiting defence will be most aware of.
At the other end, Belloumi leads the way for Hull City with 3 goals in the Premier League this season. The two leading scorers are level on that total, and Belloumi will be central to Hull City's hopes of finding a way past a defence that has been hard to breach.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to an Arsenal side that combines a steady supply of goals with a tight defence. They have conceded just 5 goals in 9 Premier League matches, and only 2 of those have come at home. In their last 5 matches they scored in all 5, kept a clean sheet in 2, and both teams scored in 3.
Hull City's figures suggest a team that usually finds the net but struggles to keep opponents out. In their last 5 matches they scored in 4, did not keep a clean sheet in any of them, and both teams scored in 4. Their 5 draws from 9 league matches also show a side that has often been involved in close contests.
That sets up a clear test: Hull City's ability to score in most of their matches against an Arsenal defence that has given little away, particularly at home.
