Arsenal will entertain Hull City at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win over Slavia Praha recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first team for this clash. Kai Havertz, Christos Tzolis and Riccardo Calafiori could all play from the start of this game.
David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners after he conceded one goal in his last outing. Gabriel will resume his partnership with Ezri Konsa, who is a slight concern ahead of this game, at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they focus on keeping the opposition at bay throughout the 90 minutes.
Jurrien Timber will try to impress as the right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori looks to prove his value on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Piero Hincapie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Myles Lewis-Skelly and Bruno Guimaraes will anchor the midfield for the Gunners as they look to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park and engineer some decent chances inside the opponent's half.
The talented trio of Noni Madueke, Martin Odegaard and Christos Tzolis will operate just ahead of them as part of Arteta's attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the North London club are to secure all three points at the Emirates this weekend.
Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi will have to settle for a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.
Kai Havertz will lead the line for the Gunners up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the pitch.
Viktor Gyokeres will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
