Fulham vs Arsenal
Arsenal just got back from the Europa League, and on Sunday afternoon, they will play in the Premier League against Fulham at Craven Cottage. This is a short trip across London.
The Gunners’ chances of winning the league title got a boost over the weekend when an unexpected hero, Reiss Nelson, scored the game-winning goal in the 94th minute to end an exciting second-half comeback win over Bournemouth. After their win, Arsenal’s lead over Manchester City at the top of the table went back to five points, and many people are beginning to wonder if they will actually win.
But if you look at City’s past, you can’t deny that they must keep winning.
The team led by Mikel Arteta will have to deal with tough competition from Fulham. Under Marco Silva’s direction, the team in west London is doing very well, and this season they have far surpassed expectations. The Cottagers are currently in seventh place, so there is a good chance that they will play in a European tournament next season.
Prediction
Paulinha was a key player for Fulham in the middle of the field. Without him, the odds are much more in Arsenal’s favour. The Cottagers played Brentford on Tuesday without their leader, which I think will be more noticeable this weekend.

Even though the Gunners haven’t been at their best lately, they’ve still been winning, and I have a feeling that will continue on Sunday. Even though Fulham is a strong team that can make things difficult for the visitors, Arsenal’s control will lead to a close win for the visitors on the road.
According to Understat, Fulham has done better than every other Premier League team this season in terms of the difference between predicted points and actual points. It’s important to think about this interesting truth.
Prediction
Fulham will lose to Arsenal by a score of 1 to 2.
