Arsenal can take advantage of Liverpool's absence yesterday, as a strong wind canceled the match between the Kops and Everton at Goodison Park, while Manchester City suffered another setback at Selhurst Park.

Every weekend, the Premier League table changes, but Fulham can make a significant impact with a win over the Gunners, potentially moving them up to fifth in the standings.

Arsenal’s season is beginning to look promising again; Arsenal has won four straight games in all competitions, including an impressive 2-0 win over Manchester United in midweek. It was a show of efficiency as the Gunners converted from set pieces yet again.

Since the beginning of last season, Arsenal has scored more set-piece goals than any other team. Despite Gabriel's injury during the decisive victory over West Ham, the Gunners managed to score two goals from corner kicks against Ruben Amorim's team.

Fulham is in a good place; they will draw inspiration from what happened in this fixture last season, where they beat Arsenal having conceded the first goal. It was a horrible performance by Arsenal on the day; they dare not repeat that on Sunday.

How will they line up? After his recent form, Alex Iwobi is now one of the first names on the team sheet. Emile Smith, another former Arsenal player, is also expected to play in this game. Rowe is also excited about this game, but Reis Nelson's injury prevents him from playing against his parent club.

Bukayo Saka of Arsenal is consistently contributing a goal per game. The young winger is helping the Gunners the best way he can; supported by Martin Ødegaard, who recently returned from an ankle injury, Arsenal is playing at a top gear right now.

The midfield battle will be key. Mikel Arteta is now seamlessly rotating his squad, so you don’t know who is getting in the starting lineup; however, Declan Rice and Thomas Partey are the first two names that come to mind in the Arsenal midfield.

With Tottenham hosting Chelsea, Arsenal has a good chance to make the second spot their own this weekend, but they must go through a stubborn Fulham side. Tom Cairney will not be available due to his ban, but Sasa Lucic is available for selection.

Verdict: Both teams to score
