Arsenal will look to make it nine straight in all competitions, but Fulham won’t make it easy. Here are all the ways you can watch the action.
Arsenal have won eight games in a row in all competitions and five straight in the Premier League. That false start against Manchester City is looking to be the exception after all. And while some of these matches haven’t been pretty, that’s okay, because a win is a win, and they’ve been wins.
Not just that, but they’ve been clean sheets too. Three of the last four have been goose-eggs for the opposition. The defense, which was the black eye of the club, is improving, even if it isn’t perfect yet.
Fulham won’t make it easy on this defense. They have Mitrovic, who is tied for the Premier League lead in goals with five. They have Vietto, with three assists, who has been superb in his own right. And we all know that Schurrle is a talented creator himself.
Then there is our own former transfer target, Jean Michael Seri.

The point is, Fulham have their stars, they have some potent options, and won’t be the kind of game that we should expect the Gunners to just waltz through. Then again, do we ever have those kinds of games?
The defense will have to be on top of their game to keep another clean sheet, and that includes Bernd Leno, who has looked steady as can be in the goal in the wake of Cech’s absence.
Look for Lucas Torreira to factor in big time too, as he will be needed to break up the attacking build up before it can find its end result against our still-flimsy defense.
In terms of injuries, the Gunners are without a helping of players, none of which some as a surprise… except Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed Qarabag due to illness and remains a “doubt” in this match. It would be a sore miss if he couldn’t go, but with Alex Iwobi ready and waiting, I’m still feeling confident.
