Core answer: Fulham của HLV Alvaro Arbeloa đứng thứ 19 Premier League sau ba trận thua mở màn, dù có xG vượt trội 3,14–1,97 trước Crystal Palace nhưng thua 2–3. Key facts: - Fulham chỉ có Coventry xếp dưới, với hiệu số kém hơn hai bàn. - Đây là lần thứ tư trong lịch sử Fulham mở đầu bằng ba thất bại. - Hai lần trước (1951/52 và 2020/21) họ đều xuống hạng. - Arbeloa rời Real Madrid hè vừa qua, không được kế nhiệm Xabi Alonso. - Báo AS gọi là drama, Marca giật tít 'không phải khởi đầu kỷ nguyên Arbeloa'. Source attribution: AS, Marca, Fulham | Cross-checked: VuaBong.vn. Related Q&A: Q: Arbeloa có bị sa thải không? A: Chưa, nhưng ba trận tới sẽ quyết định nếu kết quả không cải thiện. Q: Fulham có thể thoát xuống hạng không? A: Có, nếu họ cải thiện hiệu suất dứt điểm từ mức xG 3,14.

Fulham have lost their first three Premier League games under Alvaro Arbeloa and sit 19th. Yet their expected goals (xG) in the 2-3 defeat against Crystal Palace were 3.14 to 1.97, illustrating a team creating plenty but lacking clinical finishing. Spanish media talk of a 'drama' for the 43-year-old, who replaced the dismissed Xabi Alonso's planned succession at Real Madrid. Historical parallels are alarming: twice before, in 2026/52 and 2026/21, Fulham opened with three straight defeats and were relegated. But with 35 games left, the key question is whether Arbeloa can turn high xG into points before the pressure becomes unbearable.
