They defeated Crystal Palace, Leicester City, and Bournemouth to secure four victories in a row, so they are in excellent shape. The Gunners can now add Fulham to their list of defeated opponents.
The triumph over Fulham, however, presented some additional difficulties for Arsenal because Mikel Arteta changed his starting lineup for the first time this season as a result of injuries to the squad. Since moving from Manchester City to Arsenal, Zinchenko has appeared in every Premier League game. He did, however, miss Arsenal's triumph over Fulham on Saturday night due to injury. Similar to Zinchenko, Partey had appeared for the Gunners in each Premier League match prior to the match against Fulham. He was hurt, though, and was unable to play in the 2-1 triumph over the Whites.
