Martin Zubimendi returns to the midfield for our trip across the capital to take on Fulham. 

The Spain international came on for the injured Martin Odegaard in our last game, at home to West Ham, two weeks ago. 

It’s the only change to the side that won that game 2-0 before the international break, meaning the back four of Riccardo Calafiori, William Saliba, Gabriel and Jurrien Timber continues in front of David Raya. Zubimendi is joined by Declan Rice and Eberchi Eze in midfield. 

Bukayo Saka takes the captain’s armband in Odegaard’s absence, with Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyokers also starting.

LINEUPS

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Eze, Zubimendi, Saka, Trosssard, Gyokeres.
