The battle for the English Premier League title continues this weekend, as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will be looking to go six points clear at the top before Man City return to action. Fulham could be a tricky opponent, as Marco Silva’s side will still have European aspirations.

Arsenal Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 22-7-5
  • Home Record: 13-2-2
  • Road Record: 9-5-3

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.

Team News:

Kai Havertz (Hip), Jurrien Timber (Ankle), Mikel Merino (Foot)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Raya (GK); White, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori; Rice, Zubimendi; Saka, Eze, Madueke; Jesus

Fulham Stats & Team News

  • Overall Record: 14-6-14
  • Home Record: 10-2-5
  • Road Record: 4-4-9

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.

Team News:

Ryan Sessegnon (Muscle), Alex Iwobi (Thigh), Kevin (Ankle)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Leno (GK); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Bobb; Jimenez

Head-to-Head Trends

  • Arsenal have avoided defeat in all 32 home league matches against Fulham, winning on 25 occasions.
  • Fulham have recorded just one win in their last 15 EPL fixtures against the Gunners

Arsenal vs. Fulham Prop Picks

Set pieces have been Arsenal’s biggest strength in 2025-26, with 17 goals being scored from corners. Gabriel has been a constant threat, registering seven goal involvements this term. The Brazilian could be a value play to score on Saturday.

Arsenal vs. Fulham Picks

Arsenal’s long unbeaten home record against Fulham ensures that they are the standout selection this weekend. However, it may be another nervy low-scoring affair at the Emirates Stadium.
