"Three weeks ago, the 2025-26 Premier League was Liverpool's to lose. Now it's safe in the hands of Arsenal. It's all been a bit presumptuous seeing the season's barely started, but that's the modern discourse for you. Hey, we're all at fault. So can Arsenal consolidate their lead at the top, against a side who have only defeated them once in the last 14 meetings?"
"Arsenal make just one change to their starting XI after their 2-0 home win over West Ham. Martin degaard is injured, so in comes Martin Zubimendi. Share Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Berge, Cairney, Wilson, King, Iwobi, Jimenez. Subs: Lecomte, Tete, Bassey, Reed, Traore, Kusi-Asare, Kevin, Diop, Smith Rowe. Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Eze, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard. Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Merino, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman. Referee: Anthony Taylor. VAR: Stuart Attwell."
Arsenal sit top of the Premier League after a victory over West Ham, but early-season positions are historically unreliable and offer no guarantees of sustained success. Arsenal made one change with Martin Zubimendi replacing the injured Martin degaard. Fulham made three changes after a 3-1 loss at Bournemouth, with Raul Jimenez, Jorge Cuenca and captain Tom Cairney returning while Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz remained unavailable. Past weeks saw Liverpool briefly positioned as favourites, and Arsenal face a Fulham side seeking form after consecutive defeats. Arsenal have managed only one win in recent visits to Fulham.
