The Gunners are 12 points off Liverpool in the title race despite losing just one of their last 19 league matches. The Cottagers have five wins and four losses in their last nine EPL fixtures.
Match: Arsenal v Fulham
When: Tuesday, 01 April 2025, 20:45
Where: Emirates Stadium
Arsenal Form
The Gunners look to be out of the title race after dropping too many points. They were knocked out of the Carabao Cup after losing 2-0 at home and 2-0 away vs Newcastle. A 2-0 win at Leicester preceded three damaging league results.
A 1-0 loss at home to West Ham was followed by a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest. Whilst they destroyed PSV 7-1 a few days later, they could only draw 1-1 at Man Utd in their next league match. A 2-2 home draw vs PSV with a second-string XI was followed by a 1-0 home win over Chelsea as they allowed just two shots on target.
Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta is still without Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to long-term injuries. Bukayo Saka is back in training and could be included in the squad for this match.
Raheem Sterling is available again after he was ineligible against his parent club last time out. Riccardo Calafiori will play no part after an injury on duty with Italy.
Arsenal Motivation
The Gunners will be fully focused on this match. Their main attention may go on the Champions League but their first leg against Real Madrid is a week away.
They will attack Fulham but with attacking injuries, they could look to get a lead and sit on it.
Fulham Form
Marco Silva’s side are wildly inconsistent. They are capable of beating the top teams and then losing to relegation-threatened clubs. Their last nine matches in the league have seen five wins and four defeats. After successive league wins, they were beaten 2-0 at home by Crystal Palace.
A 2-1 win at Wolves and a 1-1 draw vs Man Utd (and win on penalties) followed in the FA Cup. Their mood swings continued with a 2-1 loss at Brighton before a 2-0 home win over Tottenham. On Saturday, they were thoroughly beaten 3-0 at home by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.
Fulham Team News
Reiss Nelson can’t face his parent club but is injured anyway. Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson are also ruled out for this match.
There could be some changes to the XI after Saturday’s defeat. Adama Traore, Emile Smith Rowe and Raul Jimenez are pushing to be included in the front four for this match.
Fulham Motivation
Fulham are an open and expansive side and tend to get results against the better sides.
They will go to Arsenal and look to win the match. A draw does them no good and they’re not suited to parking the bus.
Key Stats
Arsenal have lost just 1 of their last 19 EPL matches
Arsenal have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches
Arsenal are winless in 3 matches vs Fulham (1 loss, 2 draws)
Fulham have lost 4 of their last 9 EPL matches (5 wins)
Fulham have seen both sides on target in 5 of their last 6 clashes vs Arsenal
Verdict
This should be a close match as Fulham often get points off Arsenal. However, there’s a worry that the Cottagers will be fatigued from the weekend and they could have one eye on their summer holidays.
