Match Preview
It has been a poor Christmas period for Arsenal, as their title hopes have been dented after failing to win each of their last two. That run of form has seen the Gunners drop to second in the standings, and they now trail Liverpool by two points coming into their final fixture of 2023. However, a win this weekend could see the Gunners end a calendar year at the summit for the second consecutive campaign.
There will be pressure on Fulham this weekend, as they have dropped nearer to the bottom three places in the standings after losing each of their last three. The Cottagers rank among the lowest scorers in the Premier League this term, having netted just 26 goals this season. However, they will need to be more fluent defensively than they have in recent weeks against Arsenal.

These sides played out a cagey 2-2 draw at the Emirates earlier this term. That result means that Fulham could avoid defeats in both Premier League matches against the Gunners for just the third time in their history. However, Arsenal have won their last five league matches away from home against the Cottagers, scoring at least three goals in three of their last four visits.
The Gunners have also ended the calendar year strongly throughout recent history, having won 12 of their last 16. That run also includes victories in each of their last three. Meanwhile, Fulham have lost five of their last seven home games in the league against sides based in London.
Fulham vs Arsenal Prediction
Fulham have struggled at home against London opposition throughout this season, failing to score in five of their last seven. Therefore, we expect a response from Arsenal on Sunday, with the Gunners landing maximum points at Craven Cottage.
