The Gunners are back in action, and the mission couldn't be clearer: keep the winning streak alive. Arsenal face Fulham today at the Emirates, and with the Premier League title race heating up, every point is gold. A win here would put serious pressure on Manchester City, who trail by six points heading into their Monday clash with Everton. But Arteta's men can't afford to look ahead—not with a Champions League semifinal second leg against Real Madrid looming on Tuesday.

Fulham arrive in North London fighting for European spots of their own, but recent form doesn't favor them. The Cottagers have been stuck in a rut of low-scoring affairs, with just nine goals across their last nine matches in all competitions. Their away record is even more troubling: no goals in three straight road games, and a 1-3-4 stretch overall. Marco Silva's sides have historically struggled at the Emirates too, conceding two goals in each of his last five visits—a trend Arsenal will be eager to exploit.

The reverse fixture in October was a tight 1-0 Arsenal win, courtesy of a Leandro Trossard second-half strike. Today, the Gunners will need that same grit and creativity, especially with key absences. Mikel Arteta confirmed Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz are out, and Martin Ødegaard is a surprise omission from the squad—likely a flare-up of his persistent knee issue. Hopefully it's minor, but his absence leaves a creative void in midfield.

Fulham are also hit by injuries, missing former Arsenal man Alex Iwobi (thigh) and Ryan Sessegnon. But the Gunners have depth, and today's lineup shows it: Raya between the sticks; a back four of White, Saliba, Gabriel, and Calafiori; a midfield trio of Lewis-Skelly, Rice, and Eze; and an attacking line of Trossard, Gyokeres, and Saka. It's a side built to attack and control the tempo.

For Arsenal, the math is simple: win today, win Tuesday, and keep believing. The fans at the Emirates will be roaring, and the players know the stakes. Let's see if they can deliver another statement performance.
