Fulham vs Arsenal Prediction, 11:30 p.m. October 18: Secure the top spot

Prediction before Fulham vs Arsenal match

After 7 rounds, Mikel Arteta and his team have taken over the top spot from Liverpool. This is the result of a series of matches in which Arsenal played well, while Liverpool lost their breath. This round, Liverpool is at risk of continuing to stumble when facing MU. Arsenal needs to beat Fulham, then "sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight" and wait for Liverpool to be held by MU.

The Gunners have made a strong comeback since their 1-0 away loss to Liverpool. They then beat Nottingham, defeated Athletic Bilbao (Champions League), drew with Man City, beat Port Vale (League Cup) and continued to beat Newcastle, Olympiakos and West Ham. It is not an exaggeration to say that Arsenal are the team with the best form in the Premier League.

Fulham are in the bottom half of the table. Fulham's situation is not surprising, showing their true ability. In their last two matches, Fulham lost to Bournemouth and Aston Villa. However, when playing at home, Fulham have a good record. They have won against Cambridge, Brentford, Leeds, Bristol, and drawn with MU in their last five home matches.

Coach Marco Silva and his team have maintained an unbeaten streak at home since the beginning of the season. This is the basis for experts and supercomputers to predict that Fulham still have many opportunities to win at least one point against Arsenal. However, when considering the balance of power and form, Arsenal's chance of winning is still over 60%.

Form, head-to-head record Fulham vs Arsenal

Looking back at past statistics, Fulham is a "fat piece of meat" for Arsenal. The two clubs have met 36 times, Arsenal has won 24 times. Fulham has won 4 times against Arsenal.

Last season, Fulham held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at home. In the last two seasons, the Gunners have failed to win two games against Fulham, namely one win and one draw. The inspiration of playing at home is the only basis for Fulham to retain at least one point.

First of all, Fulham need to stop Arsenal’s attack, which has scored 14 goals this season. But Fulham’s problem is a loose defense. They have conceded 11 goals in 7 games, the most in the top 14.
