Arsenal and Fulham will face each other at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League this weekend. The match is scheduled to kick off at 5:30pm UK time on Saturday.

Arsenal

Arsenal have made a strong start to the season and are the only team to have won all three of their Premier League games. The Gunners are at the top of the league table at the moment with nine points from seven matches, two points above second-placed and defending Premier League champions Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta’s side kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in London. It followed a 4-2 victory over Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal then eased past Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the league.

Team News:

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is likely to use the same starting lineup that he used against Bournemouth. Gabriel Jesus will lead the line for the Gunners, while Martin Odegaard will be the creator-in-chief. William Saliba and Gabriel will be the two centre-backs.

Fulham

Fulham won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season. Like the other promoted teams, the London club are expected to fight for survival in the top flight of English football.

The Cottagers are doing well in the Premier League at the moment. Fulham have picked up five points from three games. They played out a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Craven Cottage in London in their opening Premier League game of the season before drawing goalless with Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home at Molineux Stadium. It followed a 3-2 win against Brentford in front of their own fans.

Team News:

Fulham are unlikely to make too many changes to their starting lineup from the last game. Aleksandar Mitrovic will lead the line for the Cottagers, while Andreas Pereira will be the creator-in-chief for the London club.

Key Factors to Consider

  • Arsenal have scored 9 goals in 3 Premier League matches.
  • Arsenal have conceded 2 goals in 3 Premier League matches.
  • Fulham have scored 5 goals in 3 Premier League matches,
  • Fulham have conceded 4 goals in 3 Premier League games.
  • Fulham have yet to lose a Premier League game this season.

Conclusion

Arsenal are in superb form at the moment and will head into the match against Fulham at the Emirates Stadium as favourites. The Gunners have the better team than the Cottagers and should be able to pick up all three points from the encounter. However, Fulham will give them a hard time, as they are in good form and have a very good attacking unit. Expect a narrow win for Arsenal in the London derby.

Prediction: Arsenal to win 2-1

Best Odds: 13/2
