The title race pressure appeared to be getting to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal after back-to-back defeats against Bournemouth and Man City. However, the Gunners look to be back on track following a nervy 1-0 home win over Newcastle last Saturday.
Arsenal will have the opportunity to move six points clear of Man City on Saturday before Pep Guardiola’s side return to action on Monday. Home advantage had been crucial in the opening half of the season, but the Gunners have lost twice at the Emirates since the turn of the year.

Marco Silva has once again done an excellent job at Fulham this season, and the Cottagers could yet achieve qualification for Europe in the final month of the season. They currently sit tenth, but a shock win on Saturday could see them end the night as high as fifth.
The Cottagers gained momentum with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend, meaning that they have now avoided defeat in four of their previous five in the Premier League.
