Latest Fulham vs Arsenal team information
After being taken off early against West Ham last weekend, Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes are not at risk for the midweek clash with Manchester United. Neither trained on Friday but could return. With Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu suffering long-term knee injuries, they could be the only absentees for Sunday's derby, and there could be some changes to the line-up ahead of the Champions League clash with Monaco.
Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino, who have just recovered from a knee injury, are the favourites to start, while Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko will make way if Gabriel and Calafiori are fit.
For Fulham, Reiss Nelson, on loan from Arsenal, will miss the game against his parent club. Nelson also picked up a thigh injury in the win over Brighton and could be out. He joins Harrison Reed (knee) and Joachim Andersen (calf) on Fulham's list of absentees, while Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon will undergo last-minute fitness checks but will not start.
Tom Cairney, sent off in the draw with Tottenham Hotspur, remains suspended, while Sasa Lukic returns from suspension and will be an alternative option in Fulham's midfield.
Latest expected lineup for Fulham vs Arsenal
Fulham:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
Arsenal:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
Latest Fulham vs Arsenal football review
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, whose solid defence made life difficult for the Gunners in the first half at the Emirates. However, Ruben Amorim was forced to surrender to Arsenal's free-kick prowess as Jurrien Timber headed home and William Saliba scored from a corner to seal the win.
Mikel Arteta, after this victory, is looking to win his fifth consecutive match in all competitions, helping Arsenal close the gap on Liverpool to seven points thanks to Liverpool's defeat at Newcastle United. Despite Chelsea's 5-0 win over Southampton and leapfrogging Arsenal into third place, Arsenal have maintained their impressive record in London derbies, with seven wins in their last eight games.
In a 5-1 win over West Ham, Arsenal scored at least five goals in an away game for the fifth time in 2024, a feat no other English side has managed in six different away games in a calendar year. However, their last trip to Craven Cottage was a disappointing one, with Arsenal losing 2-1 to Fulham on New Year's Eve 2023, which has had a knock-on effect on their title race.
Fulham are currently in strong form in London derbies and were recently beaten 3-1 by Brighton, with former Arsenal man Alex Iwobi impressing. The win keeps Fulham in contention for Champions League qualification and bolsters their chances of qualifying for the Europa League or Conference League, as they currently sit sixth, just one point behind Brighton and four behind Manchester City.
Fulham were unbeaten in their last eight Premier League London derbies, their longest run since 2001, but Arsenal ended that run with a 3-1 win at Craven Cottage.
