Two teams that still need to impress. Arsenal FC at least got a win on their first match against West Brom with a saving goal by Samir Nasry. The bad news is that Nasri is suffering from a thigh injury and might not recover in time for next match.

The good news for the Gunners is... Adebayor? I'm kidding!!! But now that he already signed a new contract and is going to pocket merely £80,000 a week it's time for the Gunners' fans to accept the fact the he's staying and stop booing the lad. Now for real good news: Eduardo da Silva has been jogging and working hard to possibly return by October or early November. Rosicky might be fit to play as early as next month.

For Fulham the task is harder. The team lost the opening to EPL first timers Hull City and things MUST improve NOW for the team that finished in 17th place last season and was very close to relegation. Korean forward Seol Ki-Hyeon is expecting that the goal he scored last week will earn him a position in the Cottagers starting lineup for the match against Arsenal.

GOBSMACK PREDICTION: Arsenal will push Fulham down the hill a little bit more 2-0 and Adebayor will score just to make Arse fans happy (or mad).
