The Premier League league leaders Arsenal Football Club will be away at the Craven Cottage as they take on Fulham Football Club on Saturday 18 October from 10:00 p.m. Indian Standard Time.
Arsenal took advantage of Liverpool FC fumbling against Chelsea in their last match as the London club took over the lead of the Premier League points table.
The Mikel Arteta coached club is currently at the top with 5 wins, 1 loss and a draw in their first seven games of the season. They have the best defence in the Premier League 2025-2026 season as they have only conceded 3 goals and have scored 14.
The side have been hit with several injuries already including their captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. New signing Victor Gyokeres is the top scorer with 3 goals. However, in the matches he has failed to put the ball behind the net, he has really struggled in the match.
As for Fulham, they finished 11th place last season with 15 wins. Now in 2025-2026, the Marco Silva coached side is currently 14th with 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.
Fulham have struggled to stop the ball from going into the back of the net and neither have they scored enough goals to compensate for that. Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz have been the only two bright sparks upfront. Kenny Tete and Joachim Andersen have been the leader of the defence line.
But the team has really lacked team performance. They need to play as a unit. Unfortunately for them, their next test is against the table toppers Arsenal FC.
