William Saliba decision and six other Arsenal changes Mikel Arteta will consider for Hull

Mikel Arteta could make numerous changes to his Arsenal team for the Premier League clash against Hull City

William Saliba and Kai Havertz

Arsenal have won their last four matches in the Premier League and Mikel Arteta will be hoping to extend that to five when his side face Hull City this weekend.

By contrast, Hull have not tasted victory in the league since beating Coventry 1-0 all the way back in August. Sergej Jakirovic's side are unbeaten in their last two, however, so Arteta will know not to take the Tigers lightly.

The Gunners go into the clash on the back of beating Slavia Praha 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Goals from Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres ensured the win and, with the game finishing less than 48 hours ago, Arteta is likely to make a number of changes to keep his side fresh.

David Raya will start in goal, as is normally the case in the Premier League, and will be hoping to keep his seventh clean sheet of the season. Amazingly, the shotstopper already has six clean sheets this campaign and will undoubtedly be eyeing the Golden Glove once again.

Piero Hincapie and Ben White started left-back and right-back, respectively, against Slavia Praha on Wednesday but could be replaced by Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber. There's also a decision to be made regarding William Saliba.

The Frenchman is yet to feature this season due to a back injury picked up at the World Cup but he returned to the matchday squad in midweek. The Frenchman could partner Gabriel in the heart of defence, which would give Ezri Konsa a well deserved rest.

Mikel Arteta has some decisions to make regarding his Arsenal starting lineup

In midfield, Martin Zubimendi will almost certainly drop out with one of Bruno Guimaraes and Myles Lewis-Skelly coming in. Declan Rice has started all nine league games so far and is expected to start from the off yet again.

Madueke scored the opener against Slava and will likely start on the right wing, especially given Bukayo Saka remains out. Martin Odegaard will likely replace Mikel Merino and captain the side, while Eberechi Eze could drop out with Christos Tzolis coming in.

Gyokeres insisted he felt "very good" after scoring his second goal of the season on Wednesday but Kai Havertz will be full of confidence himself after netting the only goal in the win over Liverpool last weekend. Havertz is probably the favourite to start against Hull, although Gyokeres does like playing against the so called 'lesser' teams.

Possible Arsenal team to take on Hull: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Madueke, Odegaard, Tzolis, Havertz
