Fulham vs Arsenal Prediction
This promises to be a highly entertaining match with Fulham possessing the weapons to cause Arsenal some issues. They were not at their best in midweek but still managed to beat Brighton and with the returning Lukic strengthening their midfield, that will only boost them. Former Arsenal midfielder Alex Iwobi was in superb form as their matchwinner and he will be aiming to prove a point against his former club.
Arsenal are in outstanding form right now however. Since the international break and the return to full fitness of Martin Odegaard, their attacking play is imperious. In midweek when they were not quite at their free-flowing best, their outstanding set pieces with the key in their victory against Man Utd. They are capable of winning matches in different ways which is the sign of a top class team.
This will not be an easy assignment for Arsenal but they should just about have enough quality all-round to get the win here. They cannot ease off the gas and Fulham are capable of scoring, but we still favour the Gunners to maintain this impressive run.
