Arsenal take on Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday hoping to continue their hot run of form. Mikel Arteta's side have won all three of their Premier League games so far this season, and will stay top of the league with a win over the west Londoners.
Fulham are yet to lose a game this season and sprung an upset on the opening weekend of the season by holding Liverpool to a draw, so the game will be a good test for the Gunners. "A really tough match," Arteta said when asked what he was expecting this weekend.
"They come from a really good run in the Championship last year, they did extremely well, they haven’t lost a game yet in the Premier League and they played against three difficult opponents and it will be a very difficult game."

Arteta has no fresh injury concerns going into the match, with Reiss Nelson the only first team player unavailable for selection. That means the Spaniard has some tough decisions to make, especially with Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira pushing for starts.
But if social media is anything to go by, one player who is set to keep his place is Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian posted a matchday graphic on his Instagram Story with an 'Arsenal vs Fulham' caption suggesting he is, if not in the starting lineup, then in the squad. That is to be expected, with the striker playing an active role already this season.
If Jesus does start, he will be hoping to add to the two goals he has already scored in the Premier League this season. And in the form he and his Gunners teammates are in, you wouldn't bet against it.
