'Hat-trick incoming!' - Arsenal fans love what Mikel Arteta has done for Fulham clash

Arsenal supporters have taken to social media to react to Mikel Arteta's first teamsheet of the season.

The Gunners boss has named his Arsenal starting line-up for their clash against Fulham, with some notable inclusions.

Summer signing Gabriel Magalhaes makes his full debut at the back, alongside Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding in a back three.

Hector Bellerin plays as right wing-back with Ainsley Maitland-Niles on the oppposite flank, whilst Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny anchor midfield.

Up front, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starts in his customary left wing role with Alexandre Lacazette through the middle.

On the right flank, summer arrival Willian is handed his first start since his move from Chelsea, and his inclusion has excited Arsenal fans.

One tweeted: "I’m actually pretty excited about seeing Willian play," whilst another posted: "Excited to see Gabriel and Willian in action as well. Pepe must not be quite ready coming back from holiday."

A third wrote: "Very excited to see both Willian & Gabriel make their first start for the club.

"Elneny done well in the Community Shield so not shocked to see him start. I wonder why Saliba isn’t in the squad?"
