Latest Fulham vs Arsenal team news
After leaving the pitch early in last weekend's match against West Ham, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes are not to be risked in the midweek clash against Manchester United. Both missed Friday's training session, but could still be fit to return. With Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu sidelined with long-term knee injuries, they may be the only absentees for Sunday's derby, and there could be some changes to the squad ahead of the Champions League match against Monaco.
Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino, both recovering from knee injuries, are strong contenders for a starting spot, while Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will be given up if Gabriel and Calafiori are available to play.
On Fulham's side, Reiss Nelson, currently on loan from Arsenal, will be unavailable for the match against his parent club. Nelson also suffered a hamstring injury in the win against Brighton and may be sidelined. He joins Harrison Reed (knee injury) and Joachim Andersen (calf injury) on Fulham's list of absentees, while Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon will undergo last-minute fitness tests but will not start.
Tom Cairney, who was sent off in the draw against Tottenham Hotspur, remains suspended, while Sasa Lukic returns from suspension and will be the alternative option in midfield for Fulham.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Arsenal
Arsenal scored three goals against Nottingham Forest, five against West Ham United and Sporting Lisbon, but failed to maintain their attacking prowess against Manchester United, who built a solid defense that troubled the Gunners in the first half at the Emirates. However, Ruben Amorim was forced to surrender to Arsenal's set-piece ability when Jurrien Timber scored with a header and William Saliba scored from a corner, securing the victory for Arsenal.
Following this victory, Mikel Arteta is aiming for a fifth consecutive win in all competitions, helping Arsenal close the gap to Liverpool to seven points thanks to Liverpool's defeat to Newcastle United. Although Chelsea won 5-0 against Southampton and overtook Arsenal to move into third place, Arsenal still maintain an impressive record in London derbies, with seven wins in their last eight matches.
In their 5-1 victory over West Ham, Arsenal scored at least five goals in an away game for the fifth time in 2024, a feat no other English team has achieved in six different away games in a calendar year. However, their most recent visit to Craven Cottage was a disappointing defeat, losing 2-1 to Fulham on New Year's Eve 2023, impacting their title race.
Fulham are currently showing strong form in London derbies and recently won 3-1 against Brighton, with an impressive performance from Alex Iwobi – the former Arsenal player. This victory helps Fulham continue to compete for a Champions League spot and strengthens their chances of securing a Europa League or Conference League place, as they are currently sixth, just one point behind Brighton and four points behind Manchester City.
Fulham were unbeaten in their last eight London derbies in the Premier League, their longest streak since 2001, but were ended by Arsenal's 3-1 victory at Craven Cottage.
