Fulham Current Form - LWWLL

The Cottagers have lost three times in their last five games and are coming into the tie after back-to-back 3-1 losses to Aston Villa and Bournemouth respectively. Silva will be expecting a reaction from his players to their last two performance.

Key Players to Watch

  • Alex Iwobi: The former Arsenal academy graduate has become one of Fulham’s main men at Craven Cottage. Iwobi takes on most of the creative burden for Silva’s side and is a technically secure player.
  • Joachim Andersen: The Dane is a top centre-back who has a gifted right foot on him as he is capable of spreading long diagonals from centre-back to get his team on the front foot.
  • Calvin Bassey: The 25-year-old is a versatile defender who can play at centre-back or left-back and Bassey is very athletic so it is difficult to dribble past the Nigerian defender. 

Fulham Team News

Kenny Tette has a knee issue and Raul Jiminez has a knock, while Rodrigo Muniz (Muscle) and Sasa Lukic (Goin) are also not at Silva’s disposable for the clash with their London rivals. 

Arsenal Current Form – LWDWW

After losing to the champions at Anfield, Mikel Arteta’s side have gone four games unbeaten after they drew to Manchester City and defeated Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and West Ham in that period.

Key Players to Watch

  • Leandro Trossard: The Belgian has looked in great shape this season and has been rewarded with starting places in a stacked front line. Trossard is a sharp-shooter and comes up with important goals. 
  • Jurrien Timber: Timber is a steely defender that is composed on the ball and joins up with the attack with his marauding runs from right-back. 
  • Bukayo Saka: The Englishman has just returned from injury and has been in the goals for club and country lately. Saka is one of the most difficult wingers in the league to defend against. 

Arsenal Team News

The Gunners will be without long-term absentees Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz due to knee injuries, while new signing Piero Hincapie has a groin strain.

Predicted Line-Ups: Fulham vs Arsenal

  1. Fulham (3-4-2-1): Leno, Diop, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne, Lukic, Berge, Sessegnon, Wilson, Iwobi, King

  2. Arsenal: (4-3-3): Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Merino, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
