"Arsenal opened their season with an unconvincing 1-0 win at a surprisingly dominant Manchester United, and have rarely looked back. The Gunners have won eight of their 10 matches in all competitions this season; the only times they have failed to win in the league were the narrowest of 1-0 defeats at defending champions Liverpool and a 1-1 home draw with Manchester City, although that did require a 90th-minute leveller from Gabriel Martinelli. The Gunners are yet to concede more than one goal in a game this season."
"Premier League leaders Arsenal will be the heavy favourites when they travel to Fulham on Saturday, but London derbies usually give the underdogs more than a fighting chance, as former Gunners manager Arsene Wenger always used to bemoan. The Gunners, who have finished second in the table for the last three seasons, have not won the league since Wenger's era. Fulham, meanwhile, have hit a blip and languish in 14th position."
Fulham host Arsenal at Craven Cottage on Saturday, October 18, kickoff 5:30pm (16:30 GMT), with Al Jazeera Sport providing build-up from 2:30pm (13:30 GMT) and live text commentary. Arsenal lead the Premier League and carry a strong record, winning eight of 10 matches across competitions and scoring 20 goals in 10 games. Arsenal have rarely conceded more than one goal and have only conceded twice in their last seven matches. Fulham began brightly under Marco Silva but have slipped to 14th after back-to-back Premier League defeats, with two of their wins so far coming in the League Cup.
