Fulham can climb into the Premier League’s top five with a win over Arsenal on Sunday.
Marco Silva’s side have quietly impressed so far this season and head into the London derby after a run of strong results. Fulham merited their point at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, before beating a Brighton side with European ambitions of their own in midweek.
Emile Smith Rowe will face his former team for the first time as a Fulham player, while another ex-Arsenal academy graduate, Alex Iwobi, scored twice against Brighton and is in fine form.

The visitors arrive in good form, however, after four straight wins since the international break. Arsenal are seven points behind leaders Liverpool and will want to narrow that gap, after the latter’s fixture with Everton was postponed this weekend.

On-loan Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is ineligible to face his parent club, though the winger suffered a hamstring injury in midweek against Brighton and would have missed out regardless.
Nelson joins Joachim Andersen (calf) and Harrison Reed (knee) as absentees for Marco Silva. There’s better news on Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon with each nearing their returns to action. The duo will be assessed ahead of the game and could return to the matchday squad.
