Arsenal vs Fulham Preview

April Fools’ Day will be here soon, and it might bring joy for Arsenal fans as the Gunners have a 100% record, winning all 7 Premier League matches held on this day. Moreover, Arteta’s men haven’t lost a single match at home against Fulham, recording 24 wins and 7 draws at the Emirates Stadium or the erstwhile Highbury Stadium, which currently serves as a residential development.

Arsenal

With two legs of the quarter-final against Real Madrid awaiting Mikel Arteta’s men, the Gunners would surely have one eye on the high-profile fixture but Arteta would like his squad’s focus to be on the Premier League, where they are still chasing Liverpool for the coveted title. With 58 points from 29 matches, the Gunners need to up their game if they would like to win a trophy in the next couple of seasons.

Bukayo Saka’s potential return could be the highlight of the match for many Arsenal fans, irrespective of the result on Tuesday, as the winger has already missed 21 matches this season in all competitions. While Saka’s return is the most prominent news around the squad, there is a new addition in personnel behind the scenes as Andrea Berta has joined Arsenal as the new sporting director after serving Atletico Madrid for eight fruitful years.

Apart from Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are in the medical room and were joined by Riccardo Calafiori, who picked up a knee injury while on international duty with Italy.

Fulham

While the Arsenal squad was resting on the weekend, Fulham suffered heartbreak as they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Crystal Palace and the Cottagers would now be hoping to pick themselves up and mount a challenge for the European spots. Marco Silva’s men currently sit in the eighth position with 45 points from 29 matches and only 4 points away from a guaranteed UEFA Champions League place for the 2025-26 season.

Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson, forward Harry Wilson, and right-back Kenny Tete continue to be long-term absentees for Silva’s side and the Portuguese will have to navigate this tough period without three of his key players.

Arsenal vs Fulham Under/Over Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Total goals Over 2.5 @ +102 (MGM Bet): Two teams who are failing to score goals recently would have to sharpen their blunt attacking units as Silva’s men looked listless against Crystal Palace while Arteta’s team is 12 points behind Liverpool despite having the best defensive record in the league.

Arsenal vs Fulham Player Picks

Raheem Sterling (To Score a Goal @ +230 as per MGM Bet): Raheem Sterling is enjoying a second birth at Arsenal, as the injury crisis has led Arteta to give more game time to the former Liverpool forward. Sterling has played less than 1000 minutes in the ongoing season across all competitions but has 5 goal contributions to his name which could be enhanced on Tuesday.

Alex Iwobi (To Score a Goal @ + as per MGM Bet): Alex Iwobi joined Arsenal when he was only 8 eight years old and the Gunners were still playing at the Highbury Stadium. Coming back to face his former club, against the best defense in the league, the Fulham attackers will have to give their best to support Iwobi if he wants to add to his 11 goal contributions in the ongoing Premier League season.

Arsenal vs Fulham Match Prediction

Fulham’s chances of breaking their century-old trophy drought came crashing on Saturday but the Cottagers would still be hoping to make it to Europe after a gap of 15 years, while Arsenal would themselves be looking at breaking a 20-year drought of winning the Premier League.

Our Final Prediction: A 2-0 win for Arsenal looks likely as the Gunners are ready to push Liverpool to the brink before giving in to the inevitable as the Reds are already 12 points clear and have a kind schedule featuring Everton, Fulham, West Ham United, and Leicester City in the next four matches.
