• Fulham 1-1 Arsenal (08 December 2024)
• Fulham 2-1 Arsenal (31 December 2023)
• Arsenal 2-2 Fulham (26 August 2023)
• Fulham 0-3 Arsenal (12 March 2023)

• Bukayo Saka - Hamstring injury, still a fitness doubt.
• Takehiro Tomiyasu - Knee injury, impacting the team's defensive depth.
• Gabriel Jesus - Knee injury, further depleting the forward line.
• Kai Havertz - Hamstring injury, another key player sidelined.
• Riccardo Calafiori - Unspecified injury, adding to the list of concerns.

These injuries could force Arsenal to rely on their squad depth and tactical flexibility to overcome Fulham.

• Reiss Nelson - Hamstring injury, out for the season, a significant loss.
• Kenny Tete - Knee injury, impacting the defensive lineup.
• Harry Wilson - Foot injury, still a fitness doubt.

Fulham will need to adapt without these key players, particularly in the wide areas.

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Ødegaard, Partey, Rice; Trossard, Merino, Martinelli

Given the injuries, Arsenal might opt for a 4-3-3 formation to maximise their attacking options.

Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Berge; Iwobi, Smith-Rowe, Willian; Jimenez

Fulham could stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation to maintain balance and exploit Arsenal's potential weaknesses.

• Martin Ødegaard vs Sander Berge: Ødegaard's creativity will be crucial for Arsenal, and Berge's ability to break up play could be key for Fulham.
• Gabriel Martinelli vs Timothy Castagne: Martinelli's pace and dribbling could test Castagne's defensive capabilities.
• Raul Jimenez vs Gabriel Magalhães: Jimenez's physical presence and goal-scoring prowess will be a significant challenge for Arsenal's defence.
  

• Arsenal have won 23 of their 35 Premier League meetings with Fulham, with Fulham securing just four victories.
• Fulham have won just one of the last 13 meetings with Arsenal in all competitions.
