Arsenal’s Premier League title blow to Man City is hinted at by Fulham’s training.
The early Premier League kickoff this week will be closely watched by Arsenal supporters, who are hoping Fulham can do them a huge favor in the race for the league crown. After Saturday’s 12.30pm kickoff at Craven Cottage between Manchester City and Fulham, the Gunners might be passed at the top of the standings. Because Man City still has a game in hand over Arsenal, they are still in the lead, but any points that Pep Guardiola’s team loses will benefit Arsenal.
Supporters will therefore be confident Fulham can pull off an upset even though the Cottagers are comfortably positioned in mid-table and have nothing major to play for until the end of the season. This has led to speculation that Fulham might be “on the beach” getting preparations for their encounter with Man City. In preparation for this weekend’s game, Fulham’s Raul Jimenez shared a video of the players flying kites at the training facility on social media. Supporters of Fulham have spread the footage on social media. “When our guys are flying kites in training, I don’t think there’s a bigger indicator of a team being on the beach,” a supporter commented.
