Arsenal immediately indicated their claim to the title by winning two matches. The victories of the “Gunners” cannot be considered very convincing, but largely due to their class, they managed to defeat “Nottingham Forest” (2-1) and “Crystal Palace” (1-0). As a result, together with “Manchester City” and “Brighton,” the “Gunners” are leading the league table. In the game against “The Glassblowers,” the winning goal was scored by Edegor in the 53rd minute, and soon after, Tomiyasu was sent off with two yellow cards. The team had to finish the match with a numerical disadvantage, but the wards of Mikel Arteta coped with this task. The opponent managed to strike the goal only twice throughout the match. Another home game is ahead, and it’s worth noting that at the “Emirates,” the team has lost only once in the last nine Premier League matches, with seven wins and one draw. Defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will be absent today due to disqualification. Defender Jurrien Timber and forward Gabriel Jesus are injured.
Fulham not without luck won against “Everton” away in the first round (1-0). However, they couldn’t offer much resistance on their own field against “Brentford” (0-3). In that match, the “Cottagers” practically created nothing in the attack (only two shots on target), and they allowed their opponent to exploit many opportunities, which the “Bees” fully capitalized on. Ahead of Mark Silva’s team is another London derby against “Arsenal.” The statistics don’t bring much optimism when choosing a possible bet on the guests. Since 2012, “Fulham” has not defeated “Arsenal” in the Premier League – eight losses and two draws. In the game against “Brentford,” defender Tim Ream was sent off, and he will miss the upcoming match. More football prediction today can be obtained from the link provided.
