Follow live coverage as Fulham face Arsenal in the Premier League today.

Arsenal head across London to Fulham this afternoon for a Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage. The Gunners need victory to restore their five-point lead at the top of the table after Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace yesterday.

They come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Sporting in the Europa League but buoyed by the return to the squad of Gabriel Jesus, who is on the bench today after missing the start of 2023 with a knee injury.

Fulham are going well this season and currently sit eighth in the table. Marco Silva’s side can leap to sixth, above Newcastle United, with three points against the leaders.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Fulham vs Arsenal

GOALLLL! ARSENAL HAVE THE LEAD BUT THERE IS A VAR CHECK! An unfortunate moment for Robinson. Martinelli and Xhaka play a quick-one two with the winger rushing down the left flank. He drives towards the goal, unleashing a curling shot from a tight angle that is pushed away by Leno. Rushing in the ball hits Robinson and ends up in the back of the Fulham net. However, there will be a VAR check for a possible offside.

Arsenal like moving the ball from right to left. This time Odegaard and Trossard combine before the former Brighton man passes it out to Martinelli on the left side of the box. In space, he tries to slide the ball to Xhaka who makes a run towards the byline but puts too much power on it.

Adarabioyo looks to have lost out to Martinelli on the left wing with the Brazilian trying to go around him, but recovers to keep the ball and send it down the wing. A good moment for the defender who is starting his first game in the Premier League for over two months.
