Arsenal vs Fulham Predictions

• Arsenal have not won by more than a single goal in any of their last eight games.
• Fulham have only lost one of their last five away fixtures.
• Fulham have not lost by two or more goals in any of their last four meetings with Arsenal.

Arsenal’s decline continues

VAR was, once again, at the centre of Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but the fact remains that the Gunners did not deserve to win in the Spanish capital and it was another blow in what is turning into a disastrous period for Mikel Arteta’s side.

They have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions, which has seen Manchester City go joint-favourites to reclaim the Premier League title and leaves Arsenal staring down the barrel of a potentially trophyless season just months after being priced up for the quadruple.

European-chasing Cottagers can keep things tight

Fulham have plenty to play for, too, with only two points separating them from sixth-place Brighton and European football on the table for the Cottagers.

They strengthened their claim to a return to the continent with a win over Champions League-chasing Aston Villa last weekend, and they head to the Emirates having lost just one of their last five away games.

The Gunners have not won by more than a single goal in any of their last eight games and haven’t beaten Fulham by two or more goals in any of their last five meetings, making a Fulham +2 handicap an appealing option.

I do think Fulham can take something from this game, too. They have drawn two of their last five meetings with Arsenal and have drawn two of their last three away games.

Arsenal have also played out two stalemates in their last four fixtures, so a repeat of their midweek 1-1 scoreline may be on the cards.
