Preview
Arsenal top the table on 24 points and concede just 0.5 a game at home, so Hull should find this hard. But the likely Arsenal win is priced too short to back at 1.19, and over 2.5 at 1.50 slips under our edge limit with Saka missing. That leaves under 3.5. Arsenal have only three days to recover from a 2-1 win in Prague, where Arteta was unhappy with a sloppy second half. Rice played 90 minutes, and Konsa came off with what Arteta called some issues. Saliba is back in the squad, though, and Odegaard was on the bench by choice. Hull are 11th with five draws in nine games, conceding 1.25 a game away, and Crooks is suspended. A controlled home win suits this line, as Arsenal have scored 2.25 a game at home. One caution: three of the last five meetings topped 3.5, though the latest of those was in 2016. We rate under 3.5 at 58%.
A controlled Arsenal win looks most likely, so we rate under 3.5 goals at 58%.
