Comments and predictions for Arsenal vs Fulham: Tying up the Gunners

Latest Arsenal vs Fulham squad information

Arsenal could welcome back Bukayo Saka to the squad on Tuesday, but Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz remain sidelined.

With Saka only recently recovered from a hamstring injury and unlikely to start, Mikel Merino is likely to be supported up front by wingers Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri.

In midfield, defensive midfielder Thomas Partey is expected to partner Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard to form a central trio.

With Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu both absent, there is no reason why Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Myles Lewis-Skelly should not continue to start in the back four.

Meanwhile, Fulham can put their faith in Raul Jimenez as a centre-forward, and the striker can be supported by wingers Willian and Alex Iwobi, with Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson out injured.

Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic partnered in midfield when Fulham last faced Arsenal, and they are likely to continue working together on Tuesday.

Kenny Tete is suffering from a knee injury and could be out until the end of April, so coach Marco Silva is likely to deploy a defence of Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson.

Latest expected lineup for Arsenal vs Fulham

Arsenal:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard

Fulham:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez

Latest football commentary on Arsenal vs Fulham

Mikel Merino scored the only goal for Arsenal against Chelsea in the 20th minute and the rest of the game was pretty dull, with neither side creating any dangerous chances or achieving expected goals (xG) from a clear-cut situation.

Mikel Arteta's side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three games, and have also failed to keep a clean sheet at the Emirates in four consecutive home Premier League games.

Arsenal play a day earlier than Liverpool, but if they lose on Tuesday, third-placed Nottingham Forest could close the gap to just one point. However, Arsenal are unlikely to be drawn into the top four race as they are 10 points clear of fifth-placed Manchester City.

In the first leg on December 8, Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham, and they are actually winless in their last three meetings with the side, with one loss and two draws.

Despite being on a five-match unbeaten run, Arsenal have failed to win in three of those games, and lost two of their last three before that.

Arsenal's home form at the Emirates has been inconsistent as they have lost three, drawn two and won four of their last nine games.

Opponents Fulham will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The winners had just 29% possession but still created three clear-cut chances.

To be fair, Fulham put in an impressive performance against Tottenham in the Premier League, allowing Spurs just a single shot in the first half.

Fulham are still in with a chance of qualifying for Europe this season as they are just four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, but face Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea in three of their next four games.

Marco Silva's side have won four of their last six Premier League games – losing two – scoring nine goals, conceding eight and keeping one clean sheet in that period.

Fulham have an impressive away record, winning five of their last six games, and losing just one of their previous six away games.
