Fulham vs Arsenal EPL News

Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Manchester United in their midweek encounter came through Jurriën Timber and William Saliba’s set-piece goals. The duo capitalized on precise corner deliveries from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka.

Since the previous season began, the Gunners have led the Premier League in corner goals (22) and set-piece conversions.

Following their 2-1 defeat at Fulham in late 2023, Arsenal have dominated London derbies, winning seven out of eight Premier League matches (D1). 

Red-hot Fulham has surpassed all predictions this season and holds ninth position following Thursday’s commanding 3-1 win against Brighton. Alex Iwobi found the net twice, scoring before and after Matt O’Riley’s own goal, while Carlos Baleba’s second-half strike proved merely consolatory at Craven Cottage.

Fulham has not lost in their previous eight league London derbies (W4 D4). This marks their best sequence since a nine-game run between February 2000 and September 2001. Coincidentally, that streak ended with a 3-1 home defeat to Arsenal.
