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
A bright start from the home side. Reed bursts down the right and puts a low cross into the box looking for Pereira. Arriving in the box, he drags his low attempt wide.
Fulham vs Arsenal
Fulham have been poor in the first 45 minutes and should count themselves lucky that they are not further behind. Arsenal have passed it around them with ease and have constantly found space down the left flank with Tete getting outnumbered. They look lost without Palhinha in the midfield and will be looking forward to his return in their next game. As for the away side, they have been excellent and will be looking forward to getting back on the pitch after the break.
Fulham vs Arsenal
Trossard got three assists before the break to help Arsenal secure a comfortable lead over Fulham. The away side thought they had taken the lead when Robinson diverted the ball into his own net, but after a VAR check, the goal was disallowed for an offside in the buildup. However, they scored soon after. Trossard's inswinging corner found Gabriel, with the defender powering his downward header past Leno. Martinelli doubled Arsenal's advantage, getting ahead of Robinson to put away Trossard's inviting cross. The Belgium international then completed his hat-trick of assists in stoppage time, chipping the ball over to Odegaard who chested it down before crashing his shot into the bottom corner.
