Arsenal prepares to host Fulham at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this week with both sides have plenty to think about as the business end of the season begins. The Gunners' focus might be somewhat divided between their domestic responsibilities and an upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final face-off with Real Madrid, the competition's most decorated team.
In terms of Premier League standings, Arsenal finds themselves lagging behind Liverpool by a significant 12-point margin. This gap makes a last-minute surge for the championship title appear rather far-fetched.
Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has managed to keep defeat at bay in their previous five matches across various tournaments. Yet, this record isn't all rosy; three of these games culminated in stalemates. Moreover, their recent track record against Fulham leaves much to be desired - they've been unable to clinch victory in their past three encounters with the Cottagers.
Fulham, meanwhile, won't be making the journey across London brimming with confidence. They're still licking their wounds after a crushing 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals at Craven Cottage. Despite managing victories in three out of their last five games, Marco Silva's squad has experienced two defeats in their most recent trio of matches across all tournaments.
