Arsenal are looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table as they take a trip across London to visit Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Gunners, who go into the weekend with a five-point lead, are looking to at least restore their lead over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who beat Crystal Palace the previous day.

The Europa League game threw Arsenal for a loop midweek when manager Mikel Arteta made six changes to the line-up and saw his substitutes put on a shaky performance. goal equalization. He still has some ongoing selection issues for the Fulham game as they return to the national top flight.

Fulham, meanwhile, are in a superb position, struggling for a European spot as they sit eighth in the table but have Brighton and Brentford around with games in hand. Still, it was a positive season for the Whites after challenging top teams on several occasions.

Fulham vs Arsenal prediction, odds

• Moneyline Lean: Armory (-165)
• Lean against the spread: Armory -0.5 (-190)
• Outcome Prediction: Fulham 0-2 Arsenal

Fulham have looked solid this year but they have two main issues coming into this game. All-round midfielder Paulinha is suspended on a yellow card, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of the pitch. In addition, an ongoing foot injury has stunted talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic’s form and while he should be available for selection, his threat level has dropped significantly since the World Cup break ended.

Arsenal are likely to have Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey back in midfield, plus the return of Gabriel after his Europa League game break. So there will be just too much for Fulham to overcome. Los Blancos have not beaten Arsenal since a 2-1 home win in 2012, a run of nine games without a win against the Gunners, and that streak should be continued here.

Fulham vs Arsenal: best bet

• Choose: Gabriel Martinelli scorer at all times
• Opportunities: +200 (BetMGM)
• Choose: Gabriel Martinelli 2+ shots on target
• Opportunities: +230 (FanDuel)

It’s really shocking that Gabriel Martinelli’s chances of scoring in this match are so high. He’s a great finisher, having scored 11 goals at 7.40 xG this season, and he’s likely to step in again as Arsenal’s central striker given Gabriel Jesus isn’t ready for a starting role and Leandro Trossard is doubtful with a groin injury.

Martinelli should have scored against Sporting midweek, amassing 0.85 xG on three shots, two of which were glaring scoring chances. He shredded Sporting’s defense with seven completed take-ons in nine attempts and could look forward to a similar return as the match against Fulham should prove just as chaotic. The last time these two teams met, Martinelli ripped off a whopping seven shots and put two on the frame.

Los Blancos have conceded the most expected goals of any Premier League team this season and are in that position thanks in large part to former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who is statistically the best goalkeeper in the English top flight season is. However, given Fulham are without Paulinha, there should be plenty of chances for the Brazilian in attack.

Fulham vs Arsenal Prop Bet

• Choose: Fulham over 2.5 bookings
• Opportunities: +148 (FanDuel)

These two teams can be at loggerheads, and both have fiery personalities. The absence of Paulinha, the Premier League’s most cautioned player, is reflected in the odds. But it shouldn’t greatly affect that card total.

Fulham have received the most yellow cards in the Premier League this season and even without Paulinha’s leading 10 bookings they would still be fourth behind Everton, Crystal Palace and Man United. Bobby Reid and Andreas Pereira have amassed seven cautions each, and Antonee Robinson and Aleksandar Mitrovic each have six cautions, although both were out for some time through injury.

Referee David Coote gave Fulham four yellow cards in his only time of refereeing one of their games this season and he gave Everton four cautions in a home game against Arsenal not long ago. Coote is of the whistle for the second most fouls per tackle of any full-time Premier League official, and while his yellow cards per game of 3.69 are muted by comparison, he’s still not afraid to issue bookings.
