Match preview
In-form Arsenal will welcome Fulham — a recently promoted team — to the Emirate stadium for a Saturday night Premier League match.
Last time out, Fulham suffered a surprising loss to Crawley Town in the EFL Cup which diminished their victory over Brentford at the last minute last weekend. The Gunners on the other hand, have had three straight Premier League wins— the first time this happened in 18 years.
Odegaard scored two goals in the beginning of the Arsenal match last weekend at the Vitality Stadium. In the second half, defender Saliba took a shot from outside the box; he curled the ball into the top corner to make it 3-0.
Meanwhile, Fulham opened up a 5-goal scramble with Brentford — their nearby rival — last time they played. De Cordova-Reid scored a goal in the first minute of play, and Palhinha scored 20 minutes into the match.
Minutes before the second half break, Norgaard scored for Brentford and Toney scored in the 71st minute equalising against Fulham.
However, Fulham took the last laugh as Mitrovic scored in the final minute of the game to give them all 3 points.
Arsenal will need to contain Mitrovic if they want to win this match. He is considered a physical menace with a knack for scoring goals from headers. Thus far this season, he has netted two goals in this manner.
