Our Prediction for Fulham vs Arsenal
Arsenal make the short trip across London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage in Saturday’s evening kick-off. The Gunners are unbeaten in five league matches and arrive with momentum, while Fulham will look to use home advantage to disrupt their rhythm. Arsenal’s control in midfield and sharper finishing should see them edge another tight contest.
Prediction: Arsenal to win 2–1
Betting tip: Arsenal to win and both teams to score.
Where to watch: Sky Sports Premier League
Fulham Form Analysis
Fulham’s campaign has been defined by inconsistency. Marco Silva’s side remain competitive but have struggled to convert possession into goals. Their home form is solid, taking seven points from the last four matches at Craven Cottage, and João Palhinha continues to anchor midfield with authority. Andreas Pereira’s creativity and Willian’s experience give them a threat going forward, yet defensive errors persist. Fulham have conceded in every match since late August, and that vulnerability may again prove costly against Arsenal’s pace and movement.
Arsenal Form Analysis
Arsenal continue to impress with disciplined, controlled performances. Mikel Arteta’s side combine defensive stability with attacking fluency, having scored in every league fixture this season. Declan Rice dictates tempo from deep, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli stretch play on the flanks. William Saliba and Gabriel have formed one of the most reliable partnerships in the league. Arsenal’s away form has been strong, with the team averaging over two goals per game on the road. Another composed display should keep their unbeaten run intact.

Players That Used to Play in the EFL
Aaron Ramsdale – Formerly Bournemouth and Sheffield United
Ramsdale made over 100 appearances in the English Football League, first with Bournemouth and later during Sheffield United’s promotion campaign. Those seasons built his confidence under pressure and sharpened his command of the area, traits evident in his performances for Arsenal.
Tosin Adarabioyo – Formerly Blackburn Rovers
Adarabioyo’s Championship loan spell at Blackburn provided valuable experience in a demanding, physical league. That year of regular football honed his reading of the game and composure on the ball, qualities now central to Fulham’s defensive play.
Tim Ream – Formerly Bolton Wanderers
Ream’s long spell with Bolton gave him more than 100 Championship appearances before joining Fulham. His experience in the EFL shaped the calm, positional awareness that makes him a steady presence at the back.
