Seeking a fifth Premier League win on the bounce to keep Manchester City at bay, Arsenal make the journey across the capital to meet London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Marco Silva's side went down 3-2 to Brentford in Monday's West London derby, while the Gunners played out a high-scoring encounter of their own in Portugal, drawing 2-2 with Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.

Many wondered how the absence of tackling talisman Joao Palhinha would impact Fulham's chances of a positive result against Brentford, and the travelling Cottagers fans witnessed their side's seven-game unbeaten run come to an end in a five-goal spectacular.
Despite Manor Solomon's header and Carlos Vinicius's late consolation, the Bees' success was far more straightforward than the scoreline would suggest, as Ethan Pinnock, Ivan Toney and Mathias Jensen made the net ripple to close the gap on their fellow continental chasers.
