Last Saturday was Fabio Vieira’s first time in the Arsenal squad, but despite the Gunners controlling the match, he failed to get a late substitute appearance.He’s excelled with the U21 squad and could be in line to make the Arsenal bench until a new signing is confirmed. While Arsenal probably has a transfer target to add to Mikel Arteta’s rebuild project, it’s an opportunity for Marquinhos. With Pepe’s exit and Reiss Nelson’s injury seemingly taking him out for the next month or two, there is a need in the backup role to Bukayo Saka on the right wing.With Aston Villa at midweek, it’s the perfect chance for Mikel Arteta to start a few new players and keep this XI fresh for Manchester United next weekend. In fact, I believe the streak ends after Saturday. There is an extremely low chance that every single week in the Premier League Arsenal rolls out the exact same starting XI, the team keeps winning, and I can keep using the same graphic.Left Out: Cedric, Ainsley Maitland-Niles (expected loan or sale over the next week), Marquinhos, Hector Bellerin (expected departure in the coming days) & Reiss Nelson (injury).Can the side continue their form and remain perfect this season? In fact, Arsenal has never lost against them while playing at home.
The last time Arsenal lost against Fulham was in January of 2012, with one Mikel Arteta starting in the midfield that day.
The Gunners have dominated the series, both historically (40 wins), and recently, with three wins and one draw during Fulham’s last two stints in the Premier League. Saturday marks the 60th time Arsenal and Fulham will have faced off. A great opportunity for another one of the academy’s most promising attacking players for the future. And before we dive into the weekend’s fixture, a quick shoutout for Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand who has joined Hull City on loan in the Championship this year. Earlier today the club announced Pepe’s exit to Nice in Ligue 1 for a season-long loan as Arsenal continues to improve the wage bill and right-size the squad. This has Arsenal at least two points clear of their main rivals and with two favorable matches ahead. Since the last time out Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool all dropped points.
