How to watch Arsenal vs Fulham, team news, predicted line-ups and more

Recent form

Arsenal come into this one off of the back of a draw away in Spain against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg and a hard fought 1-0 win over Newcastle at the weekend. Those two performances were more of the norm for Arteta’s men after a string of defeats prior to that against Bournemouth, Manchester City twice and Southampton.

Fulham are also in positive form after a draw against local rivals Brentford and a huge win over high flying Aston Villa last weekend.

What’s been said?

Mikel Arteta spoke about the strength of the Premier League as a whole compared to other top leagues in Europe.

“Well, there is something that when I look at that game, Bayern v PSG is probably the best game I have ever witnessed on the quality of two teams, and especially the individual quality that the players deliver,” he explained.

“I’ve never seen something like this. But when I look at the amount of minutes and the freshness of those players, then I’m not surprised. To deliver those moments of quality, you have to be very fresh and the difference in the leagues and the way they’re competing is night and day.”

Marco Silva hopes his side can take advantage of the pressure Arsenal are under in their bid to claim the title.

“Let’s hope we can use that,” Silva replied. “That depends on us, it depends on them, and it depends on many things. Whether the environment is tense or not depends on how we play and whether we are good enough to make it happen. Simple as that.

“Arsenal are a top side, a side that are title contenders, that play to win all of their games, but are also the most solid team in the league.”
