Fulham vs Arsenal

Craven Cottage forms the backdrop for an all-London Premier League encounter between Fulham and Arsenal. 

Fulham halted a two-game winless Premier League run (D1, L1) during midweek with an enthralling 3-1 home triumph against Brighton en route to posting their best-ever top-flight point tally after 14 rounds (22). It was also Fulham’s third consecutive home league outing to produce two goals beyond the 75th minute, highlighting the potential for a late drama. Furthermore, each of the Cottagers’ seven Premier League games on this ground in 2024/25 has featured both teams on the scoresheet. That was also the case when Marco Silva’s side stunned Arsenal 2-1 in this corresponding fixture last term to snap an 11-match winless H2H streak (D3, L8). Yet to beat the Gunners in back-to-back meetings this century, Fulham could make a small piece of club history this weekend. 

However, Arsenal will make this cross-capital journey in high spirits after toppling fierce rivals Manchester United 2-0 in midweek top-flight action, maintaining their incredible form after November’s international break. Mikel Arteta’s men have won all four competitive games after the two-week hiatus via multi-goal margins, scoring 3+ goals on three occasions. Now seven points adrift of table-topping Liverpool, Arsenal leave the comforts of their Emirates Stadium searching for a second successive away league victory after going four Premier League travels winless before a 5-2 demolition of West Ham last weekend (D2, L2). Delivering action from the get-go, Arteta’s charges have racked up eight of their ten goals across their two most recent road trips before halftime, increasing the likelihood of grabbing an early lead.
