Fulham are currently in 6th place in the table, which reflects their strong season so far. In their last five games, they have recorded three wins, one draw, and only one loss. Their 3-1 win over Brighton in the last round was particularly impressive. Their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and 2-1 win over Brentford also underline the team’s good form. Their forward line of Raúl Jiménez (who has scored four goals) and Adama Traoré is proving to be dangerous, while the defense is solid.
Arsenal are currently in 3rd place in the table and have also had a strong season. The Gunners have performed solidly in their last five games with three wins, one loss, and one draw. Their latest 2-0 win over Manchester United was particularly convincing, following on from a 5-2 win over West Ham. Goals have been coming for Arsenal, particularly from Kai Havertz (five goals), while Bukayo Saka is the team’s playmaker with ten assists. On the defensive side, the team around William Saliba and Gabriel continues to be solid.
The direct clash between the two teams promises to be an exciting one. Fulham showed last season that they can hold their own against the big teams with a 2-2 draw and a 2-1 win over Arsenal. However, Arsenal will go into the game as favorites thanks to their strong form and the quality in their squad. Both teams will go into this London derby with a lot of confidence, and it will be interesting to see how Fulham respond to the Gunners’ strength.

Fulham Form & Record Check
Fulham defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 in the Premier League game. The win was particularly impressive as Fulham put in a strong performance from the start and took control of the game. Alex Iwobi opened the scoring in the 4th minute when he intercepted a bad pass from Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and slotted the ball into the empty goal. However, Brighton managed to equalize in the 56th minute when Carlos Baleba scored with an accurate shot.
The game remained tense until Brighton went behind again in the 79th minute through an unfortunate own goal from M. O’Riley. In the 87th minute, Iwobi scored the final goal with a spectacular shot to secure a 3-1 victory.
In terms of match statistics, Fulham had less possession (44% compared to 56% for Brighton) and also took fewer shots on target, with a total of six shots on target compared to Brighton’s 13, despite which Fulham were more consistent in front of goal. Fulham were particularly dangerous in transition, while Brighton often lacked precision in attack.
Potential is there
Fulham have shown an impressive form curve in the Premier League in recent weeks and will go into the upcoming game against Arsenal with a lot of confidence. In their last six games, the Cottagers have only suffered one defeat, a 4-1 loss to Wolverhampton that is etched in their memory. However, that loss was the only blip in an otherwise very solid record consisting of three wins and two draws. Particularly noteworthy are their recent achievements, including a 3-1 win over Brighton and a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. These results show that Fulham are in good form and can hold their own against top teams.
Fulham will go into the game full of confidence with this positive record. Even though the Gunners are favorites going into the game, the Londoners have shown that they are able to hold their own against strong opponents. The team under coach Marco Silva has a lot of offensive power with Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore, while the defense has also been solid against strong attackers like Brighton and Tottenham. It will be important for Fulham to confirm their form in this game and possibly achieve another surprising result.

Arsenal Form & Record Check
Arsenal secured an important 2-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, reducing the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool. The game was largely even in the first half, with both teams creating chances but failing to score.
In the 54th minute of play, Jurrien Timber scored Arsenal’s first goal, converting a brilliant corner kick from Declan Rice at the near post. After a somewhat shaky start to the second half, his header put the Gunners in the lead. Arsenal’s dominance of set pieces continued when William Saliba headed in a Thomas Partey cross in the 73rd minute to make it 2-0. The ball bounced off Saliba into the goal, securing the final victory.
Arsenal’s efficiency in set-pieces was on full display as they capitalized on Manchester United’s defensive frailties. Arsenal could have scored more, with Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz both going close with efforts from open play, and Mikel Merino heading just wide from another Saka cross.
Statistically, Arsenal had 50% possession but still created more chances with a total of 14 shots on target compared to United’s five. Both teams had difficulties converting their chances, but Arsenal’s defensive stability and clinical conversion of set-pieces secured a deserved victory.
Will the streak continue?
Arsenal have not lost in any competition for five matches, impressively showing that they are still in the running for the league title. The Gunners have recorded four wins and a draw, with the 5-1 thrashing of Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League particularly noteworthy. This resounding victory underlines the team’s strong form.

With a well-coordinated offense, in which players like Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz shine, and a solid defense, they are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. They have established themselves as a serious title contender in both domestic and international competitions.
