Hull City travel to face Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday. The Tigers head to London sitting 10th in the table with 11 points from their opening nine matches, a record of two wins, five draws and two losses, having scored 11 goals and conceded 10.
Their recent form shows a pattern of resilience but a struggle to convert draws into victories, with their last five games yielding no wins, three draws and two losses. The side's last outing was a 2-2 draw at home to Ipswich Town on October 31st, which followed a 1-1 draw with Brentford on October 25th and a 1-0 defeat at Fulham on October 17th. Tim Iroegbunam and Oliver McBurnie, who also provided an assist, were on the scoresheet that day. That result extended their winless run to five games, a sequence that includes three draws and two defeats.
Mohamed Belloumi has been a bright spot in attack, leading the team's scoring charts with three goals this season in nine appearances. The team's overall defensive record is solid, having conceded only 10 goals, but finding a winning edge has been the challenge. They are currently 13 points behind their upcoming opponents in the standings.
Arsenal present the toughest possible challenge, having won seven of their eight league games this term. For Hull City, the task will be to disrupt that rhythm and try to capitalise on any rare opportunities.
The team's next assignment after this London trip is a home fixture, details of which are on the club's fixtures page. The squad travels south aiming to spring a surprise and halt their recent winless streak.
