Arsenal make the short trip across London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s team are in fine form right now and have won four straight games since returning from the international break. In midweek, the set-piece prowess of the Gunners was on show again in a 2-0 win over Manchester United at the Emirates.
The North Londoners can cut Liverpool’s lead at the top to four points with a win, after the latter’s clash with Everton was postponed amid safety concerns. However, Arsenal face a tough challenge in Fulham. Marco Silva’s side won this fixture last season and can climb into the Premier League’s top five with a win.

Arsenal XI vs Fulham – Predicted lineup and team news
Arsenal team news
Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori will be assessed for Arsenal after the defensive duo missed the midweek win over Manchester United. Mikel Arteta praised Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko for their performances in place of the pair, though the stand-ins could drop to the bench if Gabriel and Calafiori are passed fit.
Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino will hope for recalls after starting on the bench in midweek, while Arteta has spoken of his desire to give Raheem Sterling more minutes. The on-loan Chelsea winger has struggled for first-team football since his switch to the Emirates.
Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined for the Gunners.
