Arsenal FC vs Fulham FC, English Premier League 2024-25, Today Match Prediction

Arsenal FC vs Fulham FC Match Prediction & Analysis

With just nine games left, we’re entering the defining stage of the season. Liverpool sit comfortably at the top, 12 points clear of Arsenal, but history reminds us that no lead is truly safe. The Gunners themselves overturned a similar deficit in 1997-98, winning 10 straight games to snatch the title. Fresh off a gritty 1-0 win over Chelsea, Arsenal have the chance to spark another dramatic comeback—starting Tuesday night against Fulham.

However, Fulham won’t be pushovers. They held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw earlier this season and have made life difficult for several top-half teams. However, they’ll need to bounce back quickly after a bruising 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter finals. 

Current Standings: Arsenal, firmly in 2nd place with 58 points, continue their title push, while 8th-placed Fulham, sitting on 45 points, fight to keep their European dreams alive.

Head-to-Head Record: Arsenal has dominated the head-to-head battles between the teams with a win-loss record of  23-4 in 35 matches. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Arsenal FC Preview

Fulham have developed a knack for spoiling Arsenal’s momentum. Earlier this season, the Gunners were finding their rhythm when a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage stalled their climb. Last season, a costly New Year’s Eve defeat and a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Emirates—despite Fulham going down to 10 men—proved pivotal in Arsenal’s title collapse. Now, once again, Fulham stand in their way. A win here wouldn’t just break the curse; it could reignite Arsenal’s title hopes.

For Arteta’s side, this is a must-win. With just one victory in their last four ( D, D, L, W). Arsenal can’t afford another stumble. Dropping points now could derail their title chase and sap their confidence at the worst possible moment. And with a Champions League clash against Real Madrid looming, a victory isn’t just about the league—it’s about building momentum for the battles ahead.

Key Stats

1. It may be odd, but April's Fools day has been kind to the Gunners’ as their previous seven games in the Premier League played on this day have resulted in wins.
2. Arsenal has tasted defeat only once this season at Anfield.
3. Kai Havertz leads Arsenal in Premier League goals for the 2024/25 season, having scored 9 times.

Team News 

Arsenal could get a major boost with Bukayo Saka’s potential return on Tuesday, but they’ll still be without Gabriel Jesus and top scorer Kai Havertz.

Arsenal Probable XI - Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard

Fulham FC Preview

Marco Silva’s main goal heading into the season would have been to keep Fulham clear of relegation again, but the Cottagers have exceeded expectations. Now, just four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, they’re pushing for an unlikely top-four finish. Yet, inconsistency has plagued Fulham at times, and it could cost them as they chase their Champions League dream for the first time ever. 

Fulham just can’t seem to build momentum. Marco Silva’s side hasn’t won more than two league games in a row all season, and even back-to-back victories have been a rarity—just three times. Every small surge is followed by a setback, and their last three-game winning streak? You’d have to rewind all the way to 2022. A big part of the problem? Faltering against low-ranked teams. For some reason, Fulham just can’t seem to get the job done against sides they should be beating.

Key Stats

1. Fulham has won five of their last six away games across all competitions.
2. Exact two goals have been scored in each of their last six wins in the Premier League.
3. Raul Jimenez is Fulham’s top scorer in 2024/25 season with 10 goals. 

Team  News 

Fulham head into this crosstown clash without Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson and key right-back Kenny Tete. To make matters worse, their impact sub, Harry Wilson, is also sidelined with an ankle injury.

Fulham Probable XI -  Leno (gk); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Willian; Jimenez

ARSENAL FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

With Arsenal boasting a dominant 23-4 record in this fixture, many might call this a foregone conclusion. But Fulham have been a persistent thorn in the Gunners' side, taking points in their last few encounters. This season, the Cottagers have shown resilience against top-half teams and performed admirably on the road—bad news for an Arsenal side grappling with a dip in form. Meanwhile, when it comes to the odds, most betting sites back a win for Arsenal. According to one well-known betting site, Arsenal are touted to win the match with odds of 1.45  to Fulham’s 7.8 and odds of a draw of 4.50.
