Story summary

Arsenal is set to face Hull in the Premier League this weekend at the Emirates Stadium with a predicted lineup that includes key players like Gabriel Jesus (Havertz), who will likely start as the striker. William Saliba was an unused substitute during Arsenal's Champions League match against Slavia Prague on Wednesday and is expected to be part of Mikel Arteta’s squad again this weekend, though it remains uncertain if he will start or come off the bench. Bruno Guimaraes did not play in the Czech Republic and is the clear choice to partner Declan Rice in midfield. On the left wing, Christos Tzolis could retain his spot after a strong performance against Liverpool, but Eberechi Eze also made a case with his display against Slavia Prague. The match is scheduled for 3pm GMT on Saturday November 7, 2026. Arsenal will be cautious with Saliba's fitness and may not start him immediately due to recent inactivity. Bukayo Saka remains injured while Konsa is doubtful, and Dowman is suspended.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 Saliba was an unused substitute against Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night and is expected to make Mikel Arteta’s matchday squad again this weekend.
🔮 Eberechi Eze has been dealing with a minor injury but that is not an issue in Prague and he is set to start on the left, with Christos Tzolis only just back from a hamstring issue and not able to start twice in four days.
🔮 That ban only applies domestically and so Dowman is in contention to feature in the Czech Republic, where Arteta is expected to rotate his side.
🔮 Liverpool were furious at that decision and Andoni Iraola said after the game that he would demand his players dive to the ground in future after Isak stayed on his feet.
🔮 "The process and the timings and the manner that the injury has been dealt with, especially the feelings that Willy has been having along the way, they have been very, very positive.
🔮 UEFA announced that a period of silence take place before every European games this week, which will include matches involving Spanish sides Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Villarreal.
🔮 Saliba's return will leave Arteta with a serious selection headache heading into another hectic period.
🔮 It’s seven years, and the first two seasons [they finished] maybe eighth or seventh.
🔮 Andoni Iraola was left bemused by the incident and revealed he will now have a very clear message for his players in the opposition’s box.
🔮 For large periods, there were passages of play that would have slotted in fairly well to those heavy defeats in previous years.
