Arsenal fans will be enjoying the albeit early Premier League table with their side sitting top of the table and the only side now with a 100% start to the new season and will be welcoming a Fulham side who have never picked up a win at the Gunners home ground. The Cottagers have started the season reasonably well and are yet to lose this season.
The Gunners are 30/100 with Betway to win on Saturday afternoon while Fulham are 8/1 and a draw is 19/4. The Gunners are unbeaten against their visitors at home in their last 30 meetings picking up 24 wins and six draws in that time.
For Mikel Arteta, he will be delighted to see his side starting so strongly to the new Premier League season especially when the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea have struggled so early on. Only Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are the other two sides within the usual suspects at the top of the table to have started strongly.
On paper, it has been an easy fixture list on paper for the Gunners but, if last season's displays are anything to go by, Arteta would have been keen to eradicate any sense of complacency - which has clearly paid off. Strong wins against Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Bournemouth - including two clean sheets and nine goals - have put the north London club on the right path for Champions League qualification - although that might be a bit early to say now.
Meanwhile, Fulham have surprised a few critics so early on this season despite Marco Silva's reservations on how well prepared his side were before the start of the season. The head coach admitted his side are not ready for Premier League life but have managed to grind out results against Liverpool, Wolves and Brentford before a heavily-rotated team bowed out of the League Cup to League Two minnows Crawley Town.

Players to watch
Martin Odegaard has been in great form and the new Arsenal captain is certainly setting the standard for his teammates to follow. Two goals away at Bournemouth ensured the Gunners maintain their 100% winning start to the season and the midfielder will no doubt want to get in on the action this weekend too.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has made an impressive start to his fifth season of his career in the Premier League. The former Newcastle player has already equalled his tally of three league goals back in the 2020/21 season in as many matches after an outstanding season in the Championship last year with 43 goals in 44 matches. It is pretty surprising to see the bookies price him at 2/1 to score anytime.
