This Saturday morning, we get to see a powerful matchup in the Premier League, which will be pitting the 3rd-placed Arsenal against the 13th-placed Fulham.
The Gunners took it to heart to make the most points as early as possible and not give any room to Manchester City. The Community Shield winners are going full on, scoring two straight-up victories and now coming in with excellent momentum, tied for the first spot with Brighton and the aforementioned Citizens.
The Cottagers were on the right foot getting a victory in their first match against Everton, but in their last clash, they were completely halted as Brentford managed to get a 3-0 on them.
This is proving to be an exciting beginning to the Premier League season, as things can’t be any more contested at the top of the scoreboard from the two strongest contenders.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Arsenal?
As was the case in the second half of their opening Premier League encounter with Nottingham Forest, Arsenal struggled to click into gear against a well-drilled Palace defense and had their backs against the wall for the final few moments on Monday night, where Takehiro Tomiyasu’s contentious red card hardly helped matters.
A composed Martin Odegaard penalty propelled Arsenal into the lead before Tomiyasu picked up two questionable bookings in the space of seven minutes, but the Gunners’ penchant for London derbies came to the fore as they maintained their perfect start to the new term.
As one of only three teams to open the 2023-24 Premier League campaign with a pair of victories, Arsenal are sitting pretty on a podium spot in the fledgling standings.
Why Bet on Fulham?
Now that the protracted and unwelcome Aleksandar Mitrovic transfer saga has finally come to a close with the Serbian’s big-money move to Al-Hilal, Fulham boss Marco Silva is busy drawing up plans for life after the talismanic marksman, which has not got off to the best of starts.
Following a smash-and-grab win at Everton’s headquarters, Silva’s side were subjected to a 3-0 humbling at the hands of Brentford, as a Bryan Mbeumo brace and Yoane Wissa strike did the damage at Craven Cottage, where Tim Ream was also made to take the walk of shame.
With summer signing Raul Jimenez doing little to show that he can fill Mitrovic’s boots during his earliest days with the Cottagers, this week’s shot-shy visitors are languishing in an unlucky 13th place in the table ahead of their trip to the Emirates, where many will expect their recent sequence of away results to continue.
Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Fulham
Arteta has tinkered with a new Arsenal system in the opening two game weeks, leading to some inevitable teething problems, but the Gunners should have no trouble asserting their dominance over a disjointed Fulham crop.
The return of Palhinha will at least add some steel to the Cottagers’ midfield, and Arsenal’s defensive record at the Emirates offers some hope too, but a third successive win to kick off the campaign surely awaits the men in red.
Expect Arsenal to achieve a 2-0 victory.
Go for a victory for the locals at -440. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $22.73 for a total payout of $122.73.
