Arsenal will look to continue their perfect start to the season with another win when they host Fulham on Saturday, so let’s look at the predicted lineup.
The Gunners had a comfortable trip to Bournemouth last week as they emerged 3-0 winners. The players seem to be high on confidence and are gelling well which is great news for the club.
Aaron Ramsdale will keep his place in goal with an eye on getting his third clean sheet of the season. It is unlikely that the manager would want to meddle with the winning combination of Ben White and Alex Zinchenko as the full-backs.
The same can be said about the centre-backs Gabriel and William Saliba who have been rock solid. In particular, the Frenchman will be boosted by the wonderful goal he scored last week.
Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka continue to show why they are a highly regarded duo. Their ability to mix attack and defence is crucial for the north Londoners to assert themselves against their local rivals.
As for the players ahead, the exciting and dynamic duo of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will be on the wings. In the middle, club captain Martin Odegaard will be looking to pull some strings. The Norwegian got a brace last weekend and would want to influence the game once again.
Up front, we will have the impressive presence of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus who has shown in these three games, just what he is capable of. The striker can dribble, shoot, pass and help their build-up play. Though the new arrival did not score last week, his impact on the game was there for all to see.
Arsenal are in a great place at the moment and would want to keep that going for as long as possible. Beating Fulham is not going to be easy but with the Emirates crowd supporting them vociferously, the hope would be that the hosts can get the three points.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup Against Fulham (4-2-3-1):
Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Alex Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus
