Super Sunday in Premier League
Premier League Preview: Fulham vs Arsenal
A London clash between two teams in top form. Fulham could climb as high as fifth in the Premier League table on Sunday, while Arsenal have a golden opportunity to capitalize on Liverpool's break and Manchester City's draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park
Fulham Flying High
Fulham have been on a roll recently, losing just one of their last six league matches (W3, D2). After a shock 1-4 loss to Wolves, the Cottagers bounced back with four points in five days against Tottenham and Brighton. Alex Iwobi is in red-hot form with four goals in his last six Premier League appearances, helping Fulham continue their impressive run at home (4-1-2).
Key Stats:
- Scored in 13 consecutive Premier League matches, equalling a 65-year club record.
- Unbeaten in their last eight London derbies (W4, D4).
- League-high six goals scored by substitutes this season.
Injury Report: Joachim Andersen and Harrison Reed are out, while Tom Cairney is suspended.
Arsenal on the Rise
Rumors of Arsenal’s decline? Overblown. With Martin Ødegaard back in action, the Gunners have rediscovered their spark, securing three consecutive wins, including a midweek victory over Manchester United. However, they struggled against Fulham last season, collecting just one point in two meetings.
Key Stats:
- Aiming for a Premier League record: five goals or more in six away fixtures in a calendar year.
- Just four goals shy of breaking the all-time record for calendar year goals (86).
- London derby dominance: unbeaten in their last eight derbies (W7, D1).
- Bukayo Saka: 7 goals and 7 assists in his last 14 London derbies.
Injury Report: Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined, while Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori are doubtful.
Odds & Prediction
Arsenal have avoided defeat in 29 of their last 32 league matches and seem revitalized post-international break. Craven Cottage will be a tough battleground, but Arsenal’s momentum might just edge them through.
Betting Tip: Arsenal to win (1.60 odds, 3 units – Betsson).
