With Mikel Arteta welcoming newly promoted Fulham United for their Premier League debut, every Gunner will have the chance to mobilise support for their Club for the second time this season on home soil.
The two heavyweights, both of whom have gotten off to winning starts to the new season, will be seeing each other for the first time since March 18, 2021, when they squared off against each other in League play.
This matchup between the Premier League’s top team and the ninth-place club, neither of which has yet to suffer a loss this season, promises to be an exciting one.
Mikel Arteta has won nine points out of a potential nine this season, while Marco Silva has won five points out of a possible nine after drawing with Liverpool and Wolverhampton.
Mikel Arteta, who spoke before this nail-biter, made his feelings obvious by citing the Portuguese’s impressive performance in the championship last season and in the League so far this season.
Arteta has acknowledged the difficulty of the encounter, and he has said that Marco Silva’s team is formidable because of their track record of success against elite clubs.
“A very challenging contest. They’ve been on quite a roll recently, winning the Championship last season and still remaining unbeaten in the Premier League despite facing three very tough opponents. For that reason, I anticipate a tough contest.”
