Match Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Arsenal

Fulham's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can hold their own at home. With two wins in their last five games, they'll be looking to exploit Arsenal's away form, which has been less than stellar with a loss at Liverpool. Fulham's attack, led by the likes of Iwobi and King, could cause problems for Arsenal's defence, especially if they can keep the ball and play on the counter.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have been solid at home but less consistent on the road. Their recent draw against Manchester City shows they can compete with the best, but they'll need to be clinical if they want to secure a win at Craven Cottage. With players like Ødegaard and Eze pulling the strings, Arsenal should have the quality to break down Fulham's defence, but it won't be a walk in the park.

Fulham's recent form has been a mixed bag, with three losses on the road but two wins at home. Their home victories against Brentford and Leeds show they can be a tough nut to crack at Craven Cottage. However, their away losses to Chelsea, Bournemouth and Aston Villa highlight a need for more consistency. If they can replicate their recent home form, they might just give Arsenal a run for their money.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-3 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Aston Villa (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Brentford (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Leeds United (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (A)

Arsenal have been in decent form, with three wins and a draw in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly strong, with convincing wins against West Ham and Nottingham Forest. However, their loss at Liverpool shows they can be vulnerable away from home. If they can bring their home form to Craven Cottage, they should have the edge, but they'll need to be on their game.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 2-0 vs West Ham United (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Newcastle United (A)
• Draw: 1-1 vs Manchester City (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Liverpool (A)

Fulham's predicted lineup suggests a focus on solid defending with Bassey and Andersen at the back, while the attacking trio of King, Wilson, and Iwobi will look to exploit any gaps in Arsenal's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Raya, Timber (if fit), Saliba, Magalhães, Calafiori, Ødegaard (if fit), Rice, Eze, Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard

Arsenal's predicted lineup indicates a strong midfield presence with Ødegaard, Eze, and Rice, while the attacking threat of Saka, Gyökeres, and Trossard could cause problems for Fulham's backline.

• Sander Berge vs Eberechi Eze: This will be a crucial battle between Fulham's ball-winner Berge and Arsenal's creative midfielder Eze.

• Sasa Lukic vs Declan Rice: The duel between Fulham's midfield maestro Lukic and Arsenal's energetic Rice could be key to controlling the middle.

• Alex Iwobi (Fulham): Iwobi’s versatility and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively make him a vital player for Fulham.

• Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal): Gyökeres' pace and finishing ability make him a constant threat to Fulham's defence.
