Arsenal have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the English Premier League table when they host Fulham at the Emirates on Sunday evening.
The Gunners are sitting at the top of the standings with 73 points, but have played one more game than title challengers Manchester City. They can stretch that lead to six points at least until City play on Monday night.
They take on a Fulham side who are in 10th with 48 points – level with both Brentford and Chelsea. A positive result here against Arsenal will keep their hopes of European football alive for next season.
Mikel Arteta’s side have lost two games at home in their last five in all competitions, giving the visitors some hope of avoiding defeat here. Despite playing out to a few draws, Fulham have not beaten Arsenal this century.
The home team are coming off a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday, while Fulham are looking to make it back-to-back league wins for the first time since February.
Can Arsenal make it yet another win against their London rivals or can Marco Silva’s side frustrate them to yet another stalemate? Here is our predicted outcome of the match.
