WWWDWL

Fulham will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 3-2 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Brentford.

In that game, Fulham managed 64% possession and 9 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Fulham, the goalscorers were Manor Solomon (39') and Carlos Vinícius (99'). Brentford had 14 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Ethan Pinnock (6'), Ivan Toney (53') and Mathias Jensen (85') scored for Brentford.

Fulham haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 games.

They have managed to rack up 11 during that period and have conceded a total of 6. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Pre-game facts show that Fulham:

• have not registered a win against Arsenal in their previous 9 league games.
• have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches at home.

↔️ Head to head

An inspection of past results between these clubs going back to 18/01/2014 shows that these encounters have been a source of anguish for Fulham. They’ve not managed to come away with any wins at all whereas Arsenal have managed to find a way, finishing as winners in 83% of those ties.

🗞️ Team News: Fulham

Layvin Kurzawa (Sideband tear), Neeskens Kebano (Achilles tendon rupture) and Tom Cairney (Ankle Injury) won’t be available for Fulham gaffer Marco Silva. João Palhinha is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are thinking that The Cottagers will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, handing starts to Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Issa Diop, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson, Harrison Reed, Sasa Lukic, Willian, Andreas Pereira, Manor Solomon and Aleksandar Mitrovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury) and Gabriel Jesus (Knee Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

It’s our belief that The Gunners could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Oedegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Reiss Nelson.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Fulham are certainly able to score against this Arsenal outfit, however a single goal might not be enough to avoid defeat.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a 1-2 advantage for Arsenal at full-time. Let’s see what happens here.
