E168 EPL GW10 Arsenal 1-0 Hull City
On this Stateside Gooners episode, a rugged Hull City, Arsenal’s last match before an international break is the focus. Would Arsenal end with a resounding win before the break, something they failed to do earlier this season? There were questions about it due to missed opportunities by Rice, Havertz, and Madueke. No worries though, the defense stood strong.
One Big Number: 7 - Stay tuned until the end to find out (it’s not what you might think).
Two Minute Mashup: E168 was recorded on Saturday night. That means not all of the EPL matches were played. 2-minutes go to Saturday’s results with a bonus 1-minute preview of Sunday’s fixtures. Will Man United actually be in the relegation zone as we head to the international break.
Newcastle is 2 weeks away so no match to preview for a couple of weeks. Instead we take an early look at the preseason predictions we made for Arsenal’s season.
Let me tell you, Matt is way off the mark on the goals scored prediction. Oooof.
