Match: Fulham FC vs Arsenal FC

Competition: Premier League

Date: September 12, 2020

Kick-off time: 2:30 pm, September 12, 2020

Stadium: Craven Cottage

Arsenal’s defence – especially with a back five –has some new faces at the back, such as William Saliba and Gabriel Maghaeles.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score. Aubameyang has already got his campaign off to a good start after scoring against Liverpool at Wembley two weeks ago.

The first game sees newly-promoted Fulham host Arsenal in a London derby at Craven Cottage. After being relegated from the Premier League in 2019, Fulham won promotion back to the top flight after they finished 4th in the regular season before winning the play-offs.

Arsenal won one of their most tumultuous and disappointing seasons in history which saw the Gunners finish 8th.

There has been an improvement in the side’s performances since Mikel Arteta took charge in January – this was evident in their FA Cup triumph.

Wins against Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Wolves have proven that Arteta has a successful start so far.

Fulham drew 2-2 with MK Dons a couple of weeks ago, before playing in some behind closed doors training games.
