Mikel Arteta’s side enter the game following 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. 

Meanwhile, Fulham have had a week off since their 1-0 win over Aston Villa, giving them time to rest and recover for this weekend’s clash. 

In the previous 66 competitive encounters between these two sides, Arsenal have prevailed on 44 occasions in comparison to just nine victories for Fulham. 

A win would help Arsenal go 6 points clear at the top of the table before Manchester City face Everton on Monday night, potentially giving them a huge confidence boost. 

Ahead of the game, Arsenal are dealing with injuries to Mikel Merino (Ankle/Foot Injury), Jurrien Timber (Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury), Kai Havertz (Groin/Hip/Pelvic Injury) and Martin Odegaard (Knee Injury). 

However, despite the knocks, Riccardo Calafiori was an unused substitute on Wednesday after recovering from a knock whilst Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze played lightly, meaning they should start against the Cottagers.
