Why you should back Arsenal

The Gunners will get a boost on their backline on Saturday with Oleksandr Zinchenko rejoining the starting XI for the first time since May. Having him healthy can help Arsenal against a Fulham squad who was kept off the scoresheet in their last outing.

Saturday's match will also be a good test for Arsenal, who won both of their first two matches of the season in nail-biting fashion. Arteta has been experimenting with the team's formations and it has made the team look disjointed. Gelling early on against Fulham could really help solidify their form as the season progresses. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Fulham

The Cottagers are heavy underdogs in Saturday's match, which could be in part because they haven't defeated Arsenal in their head-to-head matchup since 2012. But they came close and gave the Gunners a real scare with a 1-1 draw in 2021 and can rebound on Saturday from their loss in Matchday 2.

Fulham's game plan should be to keep the ball away from Arsenal as much as possible, especially with the home team looking a bit shaky in their first two matches of the season. See which team to pick here.
