Fulham

It only took Fulham one year to return to the Premier League. The summer residents made their way to the Premier League through the playoffs, where they dealt with Brentford and Cardiff. Although at the start of the last campaign there were serious doubts that Fulham would be able to return to the elite in such a way.

In the market "summer residents" did not spend much, limiting themselves to two transfers and two leases.

Fulham loaned left-back Anthony Robinson to Wigan, while midfielder Mario Lemina came from Southampton. Fulham also bought another defensive midfielder from the Saints - Harrison Reed for € 9 million. From Brighton, the Londoners finally poached right winger Anthony Knockert, who had previously played for the club on loan. For the Frenchman the club laid out almost 12 million.

Fulham finished last season with a stunning finish, losing just ten times in the past ten Championship matches. In the only friendly match before the start of the Premier League, Fulham drew with Milton Keynes Dons (2-2).

Arsenal

Although it seemed impossible, but Arsenal did save last season. The Gunners finished eighth in the Premier League, which is the club's worst record in 25 years! However, Mikel Arteta's team won the FA Cup by qualifying directly for the Europa League group stage. The Spaniard began to improve Arsenal's game and in the last 12 official matches, the Gunners lost only two times.

Unlike Chelsea, Arsenal were not very active in the transfer market, strengthening, first of all, the most problematic place. The Gunners bought two center-backs. Gabriel Magalhaes came from Lille for 26 million euros and Pablo Marie flew in from Flamengo. For him, Arsenal gave 8 million euros. The arrival of Willian from Chelsea, who has moved to North London as a free agent, is also an excellent transfer.

Before the start of the Premier League Arsenal even managed to win a new title. The Gunners beat Liverpool on penalties in the FA Super Cup.

In friendly matches, the Arteta team also played against Milton Keynes Dons, defeating the opponent 4:1 and in another match, Arsenal shot QPR (4:3).
