Arsenal News and Form
Arsenal had a humbling experience at Anfield on the weekend, losing 5-1 against Liverpool. Arsenal have now gone W1 D1 L2 in their last four Premier League games now so they have gone off the boil a little bit. Their home form for the EPL season is pretty solid at W7 D2 L1 and they have won each of their last three at the Emirates.
The Gunners have averaged two goals per home game this season so have been strong in that department. They have conceded an average of under a goal per home league game as well. They have taken a clean sheet in three home league games this season.
Arsenal have been level at half time in six of their ten league home games. They have scored in each of their last nine home games. Home and away combined they are on a 19-match scoring streak in the top flight. Nothing wrong with that, but they haven’t taken a clean sheet in any of their last four.
The Gunners have produced 80% of their home goals in the second period of matches. Only Man City and Liverpool have better EPL home records this season than Arsenal. The Gunners go back into action as the third top-scorers in his season’s Premier League.
Arsenal v Fulham Head to Head

The Gunners are on a four-match winning streak in the EPL against Fulham
Fulham are winless in six against Arsenal (D1 L5)
Four of the last six meetings have gone over 2.5 goals
Fulham News and Form
Fulham managed to find a winner against Huddersfield at Craven Cottage on the weekend. It was a late goal from Aleksandar Mitrovic after the Cottagers had missed a penalty in the game. So that is now an unbeaten W1 D2 run of form that Fulham are on in the Premier League at the moment.
Their improvement of form has left them just the one point from safety, but this is going to be a tough game at Arsenal for them. In Fulham’s last away game in the top flight, they collected a point from a 0-0 draw at Newcastle. That was their first clean sheet of the season. But it was only their second point earned away from home this season (D2 L8).
In total, they only produced the six goals away from home in the top flight this season. They have conceded an average of 2.4 goals per away game which is where they have fallen down. Surprisingly though they have managed to get a clean sheet in two of their last three after having gone so long without one this season.
Each of their last four league games now have stayed under 2.5 goals. The Cottagers have been trailing at the break in six of their ten away games. They have conceded the opening goal in seven of their ten away games and the Cottagers have the worst away record and the worst defensive record in this season’s Premier League.
