EPL: Arteta warns Arsenal against underrating Hull

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has cautioned his team against underestimating newly promoted Hull City in their upcoming Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium. The match is scheduled for Saturday, and Arteta believes Hull demonstrated their capabilities during their promotion campaign. Hull has not won a match in their last eight games across all competitions but have managed to secure five draws in their opening nine Premier League games, losing only twice.

Speaking ahead of the match, Arteta praised Hull for their performances against difficult opponents and highlighted the club's journey this season. He emphasized that Arsenal needs to go into the game with the intention of beating Hull and to be better than them. The match will be the last before both teams take a break for the November international window.

Arsenal will then face Newcastle United, followed by a string of 11 consecutive matches in London, including seven games at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta also stressed the importance of maintaining a high level of performance in both attack and defense if Arsenal are to retain the Premier League title. He noted that the team's success relies on the commitment of every player, including their performance in attacking responsibilities, set-pieces, and transitions.

"It does matter, everything matters. You are able to [win] because of the compromise and commitment of every single player," Arteta said.
