When Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta fills out his team sheet against Fulham, it will be pretty self-explanatory, given the list of injuries, suspensions and want-away players in his squad. Look for Eddie Nketiah to lead the line, supported by an attacking midfield of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz. Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice are of course undroppable … [Read more...] about Arsenal Starting XI Prediction vs Fulham FC
