The Whites booked their return to England's top-flight with victory over Brentford in the Championship playoff final last month. A brace from Joe Bryan spearheaded the London club to victory at Wembley as they secured an immediate return to the Premier League.

Aleksandar Mitrović was key to Fulham's success and scored 26 goals in the regular season to walk away with the golden boot award. The Serbian forward boasts plenty of top-flight experience and along with players like Anthony Knockaert and Tom Cairney he will play an integral role in keeping the London club in the Premier League.

Arsenal followed victory in the FA Cup final with success in the Community Shield and having kept hold of club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the Gunners will be confident of making a push for a top four finish, following a disappointing campaign last season.
Dani Ceballos has joined the North London club on-loan from Real Madrid for a second successive season while Gabriel Magalhães brings much needed reinforcement in defence.
The Gunners beat Fulham 9-2 on aggregate in the two matches between the clubs in the 2018/19 Premier League season.
“Arsenal is definitely a good one to look forward to. I was at Spurs for more than 14 years and obviously, I grew to have a lot of love for the club, so playing Arsenal – from my youth days all the way up to the first team – was always a big game,” Fulham midfielder Josh Onomah told his club's official website.
“I’ll definitely be taking momentum from that into the first game. They won the FA Cup final and they just won the Community Shield, so they’re on top form. But we’re in one of the best leagues in the world now, so you’re going to play the best teams."
