The Premier League clash between Arsenal and Fulham, scheduled for April 1st, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium, promises to be a compelling encounter. Both teams have significant stakes in the match; Arsenal is currently vying for the top position in the league while Fulham aims for European qualification. Recent form indicates that Arsenal has been resilient with a narrow victory over Chelsea . However, Fulham's recent unbeaten streak against Arsenal adds an intriguing layer to this matchup.
Nevertheless, Fulham are still on course to enjoy an excellent season. They enter Tuesday's bout eighth in the Premier League table and just three points adrift of Manchester City in fifth.
Arsenal have had their fair share of issues against Silva's Cottagers in recent outings, with their last victory against Fulham arriving in early 2023. The visitors are unbeaten in three games against the Gunners. The pair played out a 1-1 draw back in December after Bukayo Saka had a potential late winner ruled out for offside following VAR intervention.
Mikel Arteta's men are a long way back in the title race, but they can close the gap to league leaders Liverpool to single digits with a midweek win. The Gunners edged past Chelsea 1-0 last time out.
Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez
Fulham were knocked out of the FA Cup at the weekend, losing 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace. The Cottagers can now fully concentrate on qualifying for Europe via their Premier League position. It could even be the Champions League with them four points behind fourth going into this game. If fifth does take a side into the Champions League, then there's only a three point gap.

Notably, Bukayo Saka's anticipated return from injury could bolster their attacking options significantly .
