In their journey for a strong start to the 2023/24 Premier League season, Arsenal are targeting their third consecutive victory as they welcome Fulham on Saturday afternoon.
Beginning the campaign with a 2-1 triumph against Nottingham Forest, the Gunners followed up with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Monday evening.
Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the North Londoners are now striving for a third consecutive three points, as they aspire to secure a prominent position at the top of the Premier League standings in the ongoing season.
Therefore, the club will host Fulham on Saturday, August 26 at the Emirates Stadium. Ahead of the meeting, Arsenal are expected to be without SIX players due to injury issues.
