Fulham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
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
Before today, Nelson had made just three Premier League appearances this season (all as a sub), playing just 85 minutes across these games. However, he's chalked up five goal involvements in these matches (three goals, two assists), and became just the second player to both score and assist a goal in two different games as a sub within a single season, after Vladimir Smicer in 2001-02.

BAR! That's the closest that Fulham have come to scoring a goal. Mitrovic rattles the bar after getting on the end of a corner from the right.

Pereira drives into the middle of the pitch before poking it to De Cordova-Reid. Gabriel can't stretch far enough to intercept the pass with Ramsdale getting low to push away his strike from a tight angle.

Good move from Arsenal. Martinelli plays the ball inside to Odegaard who drives a pass to the edge of the box with Xhaka waiting. The midfielder then flicks it out to the left with Martinelli rushing forward. His goal-bound shot is then blocked by Adarabioyo.

Solomon has scored in each of his last five appearances for Fulham across all competitions (five goals). Coming into the weekend, the only Premier League players who have recorded a longer scoring streak in 2022-23 are Erling Haaland (10) and Marcus Rashford (seven). He has been kept quiet by White this afternoon with Arsenal's right-back stopping him from moving inside from the left flank.
