From the source

Arsenal return to Premier League action this weekend after they beat Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The Gunners fought off a second half comeback to win 2-1, and remain unbeaten in Europe this season.

They now turn their focus to the league, as they welcome surprise package Hull City to the Emirates on Saturday. Mikel Arteta knows it won't be an easy test, as Hull currently sit 11th, the highest of all three promoted teams this season.

Arsenal's identity has long been seen as boring under Arteta, but the manager's style has clearly produced results. They have won their last four league games and sit top of the table by three points over Man City.
