Fulham Vs Arsenal
Today, Fulham face Arsenal at Craven Cottage. Fulham have lost three matches in a row, especially the 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley last time, which gave them a big blow. Arsenal have a golden opportunity today to go top of the points table but they already got this opportunity at home. Especially at home on Thursday, Arsenal missed the opportunity to go top of the table with a 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham. Whether Arsenal can return to the top is a little questionable as Arsenal have won just two of their last six away matches. But I think Arsenal can come back and win the match 2-1.
Well, maybe this is the time for Arsenal to prove that they deserve to be in first place. The reason is that the match against Fulham probably won't be too difficult for Arsenal to get 3 points so they can jump to 1st place, even though it might only be for a short time. The reason is that currently Aston Villa and Liverpool have both collected 42 points.
So even though in the next match Arsenal can win the match against Fulham and manage to occupy first place, perhaps the deciding factor will be until Livervool faces Newcastle. If, for example, Livervool can beat Newcastle, then Arsenal's position could be shifted again. However, if for example Livervool lose to Newcastle, Arsenal can breathe a little easier.
But the point is that Bukayo Saka and his friends must be able to win the match against Fulham, whatever the score. The reason is, this might be the best opportunity for Arsenal to shift Liverpool from the top of the standings.
I'm not sure if Arsenal can beat Fulham while Arsenal failed to beat West Ham at home. Fulham has beaten West Ham before when Fulham played at home and this could happen if Fulham beat Arsenal.
But it would be too ridiculous if that really happened, Arsenal should not lose in today's match or if they were having difficulty scoring they should be able to hold a draw to get 1 point which is better than losing a point.
It looks like Arsenal will fail to reach first place in the points table again because this club very inconsistent and has not been able to provide a good enough performance while Manchester City has improved again or unless after the transfer market opens, maybe Arsenal will get a great player who can change Arsenal performance to be stronger. Maybe it could be Manchester City strongest competitor.
This season the premier league is very interesting, the competition is becoming increasingly competitive and it is very difficult to predict who will be able to win the title in the premier league.
