The Gunners look forward to extending their winning streak this season as the host the Cottagers at the Emirates stadium in what will be last game in Saturday’s EPL fixtures.
Arsenal is the only English team this season that could boast of a 100% win at this stage of the 2022/2023 EPL season.
They are presently seated on top of the table with 9 points from three games.
Fulham have also been unbeaten so far this season, recording two consecutive draws against Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers before getting an emphatic win over Brentford last weekend.
Fulham are currently 7th on the Premier League table.
Preview
The Gunners have started the 2022/2023 season in great form majorly as a result of Jesus in the final third. Arsenal have recorded wins over Crystal Palace, Leicester City and most recently over Bournemouth.
Arsenal still have two more home fixtures against Fulham and Aston Villa before travelling to the Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Fulham have been unable to secure consecutive Premier League seasons since 2014, dropping off into the Championship following their last two promotions to the top flight.
The Cottagers, however, have started off this season in great style, picking up five points out of a possible nine, placing them in seventh position.
Mitrovic’s 90th minute goal ensured that Fulham get their first straight win over Brentford at the Craven Cottage.
However, Fulham fell 2-0 behind Crawley Town in the EFL cup on Tuesday night, this exiting the competition.
Both teams last met in April 2021 in a game that ended in a 1-all draw. However, the Cottagers have not beaten their London rivals since January, 2012.

I will create time to watch “our” game in the evening. Saliba is very ready and Gabriel Jesus is hungry for goals. The Gunners can keep the 100% streak of winning if they are serious.
