Welcome to our live coverage as Arsenal host Hull City in the Premier League this afternoon, as Mikel Arteta’s side aims to enter the international break at the table’s summit.

Arsenal fought past a resilient Hull City to ensure that they stayed top of the Premier League, before Manchester City attempt to close the gap to just three points with a victory at Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

It was Martin Ødegaard that ensured that Arsenal left The Emirates with a win, as he capitalised on a loose ball in the box after a strong Noni Madueke effort. It is his first goal since the Gunners prevailed at Napoli in the Champions League, which also proved to be the winner in a tight 1-0 affair.

Mikel Arteta's side are now afforded two weeks before they next return to action for a trip to Newcastle United, with a scheduled international break getting underway next week.

Full-Time: Arsenal 1-0 Hull City. (Martin Ødegaard)

90': The fourth official has indicated an additional four minutes of added time for the second-half.

89': Arsenal Substitution: Martin Zubimendi replaces Bruno Guimarães.

88': Mikel Merino sees his headed effort from a tight angle land on target, but it is saved by Konstantinos Tzolakis.

87': Nobel Mendy becomes the fifth player to receive a booking for Hull, for a foul on Martin Ødegaard.

81': Arsenal are presented with a flurry of opportunities from a corner as Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke and Gabriel all see their shots blocked before Viktor Gyökeres has a tame effort on target. 

75': Noni Madueke effortlessly glides past Elliot Stroud on the right flank. When the Swede realises he has let the Arsenal winger get away, he pulls him back and finds himself as the fourth Hull player to be booked this afternoon.

73': Martin Ødegaard pounces on a loose ball just yards out to give Arsenal the lead, after the Hull goalkeeper deflects Noni Madueke's low and powerful strike into the Norwegian's path.

73': GOAL FOR ARSENAL!!

72': Eberechi Eze tries to make an instant impact, but his long-range strike goes high and wide.

69': Arsenal Substitution: Eberechi Eze & Piero Hincapie replace Christos Tzolis & Riccardo Calafiori.

63': Arsenal Substitution: Mikel Merino & Viktor Gyökeres replace Declan Rice & Kai Havertz.

61': Moments after replacing the booked Lewie Coyle, Brooke Norton-Cuffy is also shown a yellow card after stamping on Christos Tzolis' foot. It is the fifth time the Arsenal winger has been fouled this match.

60': Hull make a double change. Whilst Mohamed Ali Cho makes way for Joe Geldhart, former Arsenal academy defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy is substituted on for Lewie Coyle to make his return to The Emirates.

59': Christos Tzolis shoots from an extremely wide angle, but it also proves no trouble for the keeper. 

57': Noni Madueke has his first attempt of goal in the match, as he attempts to curl the ball into the far left corner, but it is a simple save for the goalkeeper as the ball goes down the middle. 

56': Bruno Guimarães has his effort from the outside of the box blocked for Arsenal just moments before Mohamed Ali Cho sees the same outcome for his effort at the other end of the pitch.

48': Lucas Gourna-Douath is the second player to go into the referee's book, after a late sliding challenge on Riccardo Calafiori.

Mikel Arteta has opted to send out an unchanged lineup for the second-half. 

46': Arsenal kick-off the second-half. 

Kai Havertz was caught offside three times in the first half, taking his league total to 14 this season. He leads the Premier League in that regard by a staggering six, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin next on eight, per James Benge.

Martin Ødegaard stops to protest Arsenal's denied penalty before going down the tunnel for half-time, but he is ushered away by Farai Hallam after a brief discussion.

Half-Time: Arsenal 0-0 Hull City.

46': Noni Madueke plays a promising ball into the box from the right flank, but Declan Rice guides his header straight at the goalkeeper.

45': The fourth official has indicated an additional three minutes of added time for the first-half.

43': Referee Farai Hallam agrees that Kai Havertz is being fouled in the box, but the striker is in an offside position before the offence is committed. Hull are awarded a defensive free-kick instead.

41': The game has been stopped to allow VAR to check a potential foul on Kai Havertz in the penalty area. Nobel Mendy pulls the German's shirt off the ball.

38': Martin Ødegaard's long range effort is cannoned off Declan Rice, and the ball lands to Kai Havertz on the wing. The German feeds the overlapping Jurrien Timber, who lobs a ball to Christos Tzolis, but he blazes over the bar from the centre of the box.

35': Arsenal register their first two shots on target in quick succession. The first is a tame effort which is aimed low and central by Declan Rice, before Christos Tzolis headed towards Konstantinos Tzolakis for a routine save. 

34': Martin Ødegaard plays a cute ball through the defence for Christos Tzolis but the Greek winger is pulled back by Lewis Coyle who is subsequently cautioned with a yellow card. 

30': After half an hour at The Emirates, Hull lead the Premier League champions for shots, shots on target, and corners.

27': Gabriel plays a lofted ball forward into Hull's penalty area, and Semi Ajayi's headed clearance is met by Declan Rice on the edge of the box, but his first-time strike goes narrowly wide.

24': The first person to be written in the referee's book this afternoon is Hull goalkeeper coach Erbil Bozkurt for protesting. In the opposite technical area, Mikel Arteta will have to tread lightly as he is one booking away from a suspension.

22': Mohamed Ali Cho looks to launch a Hull counter-attack on the halfway line from an Arsenal free-kick, but the covering Martin Ødegaard effortlessly uses his strength to regain possession for the home side.

18': Riccardo Calafiori loses the ball just outside Arsenal's box, and Oli McBurnie collects a subsequent overhit cross. The Scotsman then finds Elliot Stroud on the right side of the box, who forces Raya to go low and save the first shot on target of the match.

15': Noni Madueke plays an excellent lofted ball across the pitch to Christos Tzolis who leads the Arsenal counter-attack, but his heavy touch means that Kai Havertz is in an offisde position by the time he releases the ball. 

11': Kai Havertz goes down in the penalty area after a light tug on the shirt from Nobel Mendy, but his protests are waved away as the ball goes out for a goal-kick. The Hull defender nudges into Havertz whilst he is down for his efforts to win a spot-kick.

9': Semi Ajayi accounts for the third headed effort of the match, as his shot goes far wide of the post from a set-piece.

5': Ezri Konsa glances on a header from Noni Madueke's in-swinging cross, which lands to Gabriel at the backpost, but the Brazilian is unable to make contact.

2': John Egan hits the side netting with a headed effort from a Hull City corner, conceded by Gabriel Magalhães.

KICK-OFF.

Arsenal and Hull City both observe a moment of silence to commemorate Remembrance Sunday tomorrow.

There is ten minutes until kick-off at The Emirates.

14:50: Max Dowman is in attendance and was spotted pitchside at The Emirates as Arsenal warmed-up this afternoon, despite serving a suspension for his red card in the shock Carabao Cup defeat at Fleetwood Town. The midfielder's next eligible game is when the Gunners host Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on 24 November.

14:35: Speaking before kick-off, Mikel Arteta has explained William Saliba’s absence in the matchday squad this afternoon, as he continues his return from injury:

“He needs some minutes. Obviously, the Champions League allows you to bring more players into the bench, but we believe that it's the best thing to do, to play some minutes on the weekend with under-21s and then be fully fit for the international break.”

There is just under 30 minutes until kick-off at The Emirates.
