Our young Gunners will be aiming to make it two wins from two this week as we host Fulham in the Under-18s Premier League South.
The match will take place at Sobha Realty Training Centre, with kick-off scheduled for 11am (UK time).
Adam Birchall’s side head into the fixture full of confidence after returning to winning ways in midweek, courtesy of a 1-0 victory over West Brom. Maalik Hashi’s superb free-kick proved the difference on the day.
The Opposition
Fulham currently sit one place above us in ninth, having recorded eight wins, three draws and 10 defeats this season, although they have played two more games.
They come into this match in good form, having extended their unbeaten run to four games. In their most recent outing, they struck a dramatic 95th-minute equaliser against Crystal Palace to snatch a point.
In cup competitions, Fulham were eliminated in the third round of the FA Youth Cup by Manchester City, while their Premier League Cup campaign ended at the group stage.
We’ve already faced Fulham once this season, with the Cottagers coming out on top in a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture.
