Fulham confirmed XI: Rodák; Odoi, Hector, Ream, Bryan; Reed, Cairney; Kebano, Onomah, Cavaleiro; Kamara.

Arsenal confirmed XI: Leno; Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Bellerín, Elneny, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Willian, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

The Cottagers secured promotion via the play-offs last month, beating Brentford at Wembley, and will kickstart the new season with a meeting on home turf against one of the ‘Big Six’.

Scott Parker will be eyeing an early upset to get the ball rolling, but the Gunners have been flying under Mikel Arteta recently.

The Spaniard most recently oversaw a Community Shield win against reigning champions Liverpool, and will be eager to take that form into the new season.

Arsenal have not tasted defeat at Craven Cottage since 2012, but can the Gunners extend that run? Or will the hosts pull off a giant-killing on matchday one?

By their standards the Gunners endured a difficult 2019/20 league campaign, but they finished on a high note and manager Arteta is determined to boost their attacking numbers, 56 goals across 38 games is simply not good enough for a club of Arsenal’s stature. Fulham, who restored their top flight status via the play-offs, were shot happy in the Championship though it remains to be seen whether they’re capable of producing those figures in a more competitive division.
