Arsenal vs Fulham Team News

Arsenal Team News

Bukayo Saka's return to the team on Tuesday could help Arsenal, although Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are still sidelined.

Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri, both wide players, could flank Merino in attack since Saka is unlikely to start after just recovering from a hamstring injury.

Thomas Partey, a defensive midfielder, is probably going to start in the middle of the field with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

There is no indication that Myles Lewis-Skelly, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Jurrien Timber will not start in a back four, especially when defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also out.

Fulham Team News

Given the injuries to Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson, Fulham could rely on Raul Jimenez to lead the line up front. Willian and Alex Iwobi might flank the striker.

The most likely pair to be paired on Tuesday is Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic, who played together in midfield during Fulham's most recent match against Arsenal.

Given that Kenny Tete's knee injury is expected to keep him out until late April, Silva might start Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, and Antonee Robinson in the back four.

Arsenal vs Fulham Match Summary

Highlights - Arsenal vs Fulham

Check back later as we may have information for this match later.

The Gunners are now in second place with 58 points, although they did defeat rival Chelsea 1-0 in their most recent match on March 16. On the same day, Fulham defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in the league, moving them up to ninth place with 45 points.

The game witnessed comparatively little activity, with neither team creating a significant chance or producing at least one xG. Mikel Merino scored Arsenal's lone goal against Chelsea in the 20th minute.

In their last four home league games, Mikel Arteta's team had failed to hold their opponents at bay at the Emirates, and they had failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three games.

The Gunners face Liverpool the day before, but a loss on Tuesday may let third-place Nottingham Forest catch up to the Londoners by only one point. However, as they are 10 points ahead of fifth-place Manchester City, they are unlikely to be forced into a top-four match.

Arsenal is actually winless against the Cottagers in their last three efforts, losing once and drawing twice. They were beaten to a 1-1 draw by Fulham in the rematch on December 8.

Although Arteta's team has won five straight games, they have lost three of those games and lost two of their previous three.

Given that they have won four of their last nine home games, drawn two, and lost three, the hosts have a mixed record at the Emirates.

Opponents Fulham will be hoping to recover from their heartbreaking 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday. Despite having only 29% of the ball, the winners managed to create three significant opportunities.

The Cottagers deserve praise for their impressive league performance against Tottenham, as Marco Silva's team held the Spurs to only one goal in the first half.

Despite playing three of their next four games against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, Fulham could make it to the European Championship this season because they are only four points behind fourth-place Chelsea.

Silva's team has scored nine goals, given up eight goals, and kept one clean sheet in their last six league games, winning four of them and losing two.

Having won five of their last six away games and only losing one of their previous six away games, the Cottagers have a good away record.

Predicted starting lineup

Arsenal possible starting lineup:

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard

Fulham possible starting lineup:

Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez
