After the Merseyside derby was postponed on Saturday, Arsenal can take advantage and move to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool when they play Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Gunners are back in form under Mikel Arteta but face a tough test against a Fulham side enjoying a brilliant season under Marco Silva.
Fulham can move fifth with a win and former Arsenal players Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi will be out to hurt their former club. Arsenal have recorded four straight wins in all competitions since the November international break and are buoyed by their 2-0 win against Manchester United on Wednesday, when their set-piece prowess once again came to the fore.
Arteta has been sweating over the fitness of defender Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori but will be confident his side can continue to hunt down Liverpool. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Simon Collings at Craven Cottage.

Welcome
Good morning and welcome to the London Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Fulham and Arsenal.
The game is scheduled to go ahead as planned despite Storm Darragh battering parts of the UK this weekend and causing a number of postponements, most notably the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.
This does hand Arsenal a chance to narrow the gap on the league leaders to four points, though they face a Fulham side that beat them in the corresponding fixture last season.
It's sure to be an interesting game at Craven Cottage.
