Fulham are returning from the international break and looking to put an end to their recent dip in form, and I have to say it looks like a tough task for Marco Silva’s side. The Cottagers suffered defeats in the Premier League before the break, losing 3-1 away to Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

You have to go back to the spring of 2023 to find the last time Fulham lost three league matches in a row, and they will be desperate to avoid a repeat here.

The good news for Fulham is that their home form has been strong this season. They have scored in their five matches at Craven Cottage in all competitions, and both teams have found the net in eight of their last ten meetings with Arsenal.

Arsenal go into this match full of confidence. Mikel Arteta’s men have taken sixteen points from their opening seven matches and sit at the top of the Premier League heading into matchday eight. Since that 1-0 defeat at Anfield in August, they have gone unbeaten in seven competitions and won three of their last four league games.

Arteta’s side have also shown impressive resilience on the road, picking up away wins at Manchester United and Newcastle, results which underline their growing maturity as genuine title contenders.

The Gunners have won five of their last seven visits to Craven Cottage, although they have not managed a victory there since March 2023, so they will be keen to put that right this weekend.

For Fulham, keeping things tight in defense will be key, but that has been easier said than done. They have managed just one clean sheet in their last sixteen Premier League matches, which is worrying when you’re facing one of the most dangerous attacking teams in the country.

Arsenal’s consistency has been their greatest strength so far. They have won eight of their ten matches in all competitions this season and look every bit like a team capable of going the distance in the title race. That said, London derbies can always surprise, and Craven Cottage has proven to be a tricky venue for the Gunners in recent years.

Still, I expect Arsenal’s quality to shine through. With their attacking pace and confidence at an all-time high, this looks to be another chance for Arteta’s side to make a statement. Fulham will fight hard and I think they will find the net, but I’m backing the league leaders to come away with all three points.
