**Arsenal take part in a London derby for the second consecutive weekend as they** [**travel to face**](https://paininthearsenal.com/fulham-vs-arsenal-preview-prediction-lineups-08-12-24) **Fulham on Sunday afternoon.**
The Gunners were victorious in their last outing as they beat Manchester United 2-0 with set pieces playing a key part once again. Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scored from corners to seal the three points for Mikel Arteta's side.
As they look to make it four league wins on the bounce, there are four key talking points ahead of Arsenal's clash with a city rival.

Arsenal's win over Man United saw them reduce the gap between themselves and league leaders Liverpool to seven points, even if that did come with a helping hand from the Reds' thrilling 3-3 draw at Newcastle.
Mikel Arteta's side now have the chance to reduce that deficit to four points due to the consequences of Storm Darragh. The weather phenomenon that is currently tearing through the UK caused the Merseyside derby to be postponed, meaning Liverpool will not play this weekend. A win at Fulham would allow Arsenal to put more pressure on the table toppers, ensuring their presence near the summit is still very much known.
There is also the chance for the Gunners to go further ahead of fellow title contenders Manchester City. The Cityzens' 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace means Arsenal can go four points ahead of them with a victory.
Arsenal must take the chance to capitalise on these circumstances with a win at Fulham on Sunday afternoon. Picking up three points will keep them hot on the tails of Liverpool while also ensuring they maintain a good advantage over City.
