Title-chasing Arsenal meet Fulham in a huge Premier League showdown between the London rivals.
Victory would move Arsenal nine points behind league leaders, Liverpool, whilst Fulham can climb to sixth with a win.

Stat Attack
- Arsenal have lost one of their last six league meetings against Fulham (W2, D3, L1).
- Fulham are yet to beat Arsenal away from home in all competitions (D7, L23).
- Raul Jimenez has scored in each of his two Fulham appearances against Arsenal (W1, D1), albeit at home rather than away.
- Arsenal have won two of three London derbies at home in 2025 (W2, L1).
- Rodrigo Muniz has scored in two of Fulham’s last three league games.
Prediction
Currently 12 points behind Liverpool, Arsenal can’t afford any more slip-ups if want any hope of snatching the title because they were wasteful in much of their win over Chelsea before the international break.
Fulham meanwhile were just lacking a polished final touch to their end product in their FA Cup loss to Palace because they otherwise were dominant in the attacking press, yet moments of timid marking cost them from a defensive perspective but they need to bounce back quickly to put the pressure on in the top-four race.
I however do think that Arsenal will be more back toward their best now Saka is available with his intensity and creativity on the right wing, which should be enough if Fulham don’t bring a tidier finishing touch.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Fulham
Result: Arsenal 2-1 Fulham
