Arsenal’s away form is nearly as strong as their record at the Emirates Stadium, with thirty-one points having been gathered on their travels. There have only been two defeats on the road and many customers will be looking to back the Premier League outright favourites to overcome a Fulham side who sit seventh in the table and they are comfortably clear of the drop zone.
Now that the Cottagers have accrued thirty-nine points already, it makes Marco Silva’s team dangerous operators considering that this match is something of a free hit. There will be a lively atmosphere at Craven Cottage and there have been lots of wins recently, with Manor Solomon really coming to the fore for his team.
The Israeli managed to score in four consecutive matches between firing against Nottingham Forest on 11 February and the FA Cup clash against Leeds United on 28 February. Fulham certainly have the capability of troubling an Arsenal defence that recently found themselves 2-0 down at home to Bournemouth before mounting a comeback.
The fact that Arsenal have a Europa League obligation on Thursday adds an extra complication and we’re unlikely to see Mikel Arteta risk too many players. Expect the likes of Bukayo Saka, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey to be fresh for this encounter although an Arsenal win might be accompanied with both teams to score.
