Fulham predicted starting XI to face Arsenal: Silva to bring key players back into the fold after cup loss?

How could Fulham line up this weekend?

Fulham have made a strong start to life back in the Premier League and are unbeaten in their opening three league matches following their promotion from the Championship.

The Cottagers drew with Liverpool and Wolves before beating Brentford last weekend.

They were beaten in midweek away at Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup and will be looking to bounce back with a positive result against Arsenal on Saturday.

The Dutchman has competition for his spot from new signing Kevin Mbabu.

CB: Tosin Adarabioyo

The ex-Manchester City man will be looking to take his spot back from Shane Duffy and Issa Diop after the pair started against Crawley.

CB: Tim Ream

He will be looking to use all his experience to help Fulham pick up a result against Mikel Arteta’s side.
