Arsenal have got a massive European game in a week’s time but Mikel Arteta will be keen to keep the focus very much on the matches which precede the Champions League excitement. Fulham have given the Gunners very tough challenges in the past three meetings and there are lingering uncertainties about how Arsenal match up against them.
The massive boost beyond the announcement of Andrea Berta as the club’s new sporting director was the confirmation by Arteta that Bukayo Saka is ready to go which will come as music to the ears of supporters. Missing since the start of December, Saka has worked hard to be back after this last international break of the season.
Jurrien Timber has fought off illness too although Riccardo Calafiori is likely to be out for a couple of weeks after a knee injury while away with the national team in yet another blow to the squad. With that in mind, here is who football.london predicts to start in tonight's match.
