Arsenal v Fulham

Arsenal vs Fulham Preview

Arsenal will be gunning for a third league win on the trot in the Premier League when they play host to Fulham at the Emirates Stadium as The Gunners have picked up where they left off at the end of last term.

Despite eventually losing out to Manchester City in last season's title race in the English top flight, Arsenal signed off at the end of last term with a comprehensive 5-0 rout of Wolves and the north London club have continued that momentum into the early stages of this new campaign as the hosts have won their opening two league games on the trot.

Early back-to-back victories against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have given Arsenal and their manager, Mikel Arteta, the perfect start to this season and although The Gunners weren't entirely convincing in either of these two wins, the victory at Selhurst Park against Palace was a gutsy performance from Arsenal as they were reduced to 10 men following Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card.

Sometimes a team has to win ugly and perhaps Arsenal did this last Monday night but they now have the chance to extends their winning streak with the visit of Fulham on Saturday and having lost just once in their last nine home games, Arsenal look well placed for further success this Saturday.

Fulham started life without talismanic striker, Aleksander Mitrovich, with a resounding 3-0 defeat at home to Brentford last Saturday as The Cottagers were unable to build upon their opening day 1-0 win away from home at Goodison Park against Everton.

Indeed, Fulham have now managed to capture just three wins from their last nine matches overall in the English top flight which were achieved in the form of victories over relegated sides, Leicester City and Southampton, along with that early season win against Everton.

However, five defeats within this nine-match period suggests Fulham could well be up against it when they make their way to the Emirates Stadium to face a strong and confident Arsenal outfit, especially as Fulham succumbed to a heavy 3–0 loss to The Gunners in their last meeting back in mid-March of last season.

In addition, Marco Silva's Fulham outfit have now lost five of their last eight matches on their travels and the visitors have managed to keep just two clean sheets in the process.

Arsenal v Fulham Verdict

Arsenal have produced some impressive displays at the Emirates Stadium in recent times and having also won eight out of their previous nine meetings against their London rivals, Fulham, it looks like being another comfortable victory for The Gunners this Saturday as well, with perhaps a clean sheet under their belts to continue their solid start.
