What's Happening?
Arsenal is set to face Fulham in a London derby, aiming to extend their defensive record of not allowing 10 or more shots from opponents in six consecutive Premier League games. This achievement marks
their longest such run since records began. Arsenal's defense, led by Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori, has been instrumental in their success, conceding only three goals in ten matches across all competitions.
Why It's Important?
Arsenal's defensive prowess is crucial as they chase their first Premier League title since the Invincibles era. Maintaining control and minimizing opponent shots not only boosts their chances of winning matches but also strengthens their position at the top of the league table. A victory against Fulham would extend their lead, providing a psychological advantage over competitors like Liverpool and Manchester United.
What's Next?
Arsenal's upcoming match against Fulham presents an opportunity to solidify their defensive record and extend their lead in the league. The presence of former Arsenal players like Alex Iwobi in Fulham's lineup adds an emotional dimension to the game, potentially influencing Arsenal's strategy and performance.
