Arsenal oppose Fulham for fame and sporting success.

Insights:
  • Arsenal have the the best goal difference (+7) in Premier League

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Carabao Cup. That game was also an away game, at Crawley Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Arsenal form and stats

Arsenal have only played one Premier League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from 19 matches.

Arsenal are returning here after visiting AFC Bournemouth and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Ødegaard (2) and Saliba scored the goal(s). Midfielder Ødegaard was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.33 (out of ten) in that game. Ødegaard scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 45 successful passes (of 53 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Leicester City in a game that was won 4-2.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Arsenal home games with this odds we find 10 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Looking at the victories, 6 matches were won by at least two goals.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Arsenal as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Aston Villa are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Arsenal at home in the league. 4 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Fulham form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier League away game of the season. During their previous season 23 away games resulted in 13 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

Two away matches in a row for Fulham, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 against Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup. That win was so important for this club, after a painful period of twelve league rounds in a row not winning. Duffy was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Duffy hit one key pass and won 2 of 4 duels.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Brentford in the Premier League.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in just three days.

It's early days yet, but Fulham has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Arsenal have avoided a loss in the last 8 matches (6-2-0) facing Fulham.
