Arsenal vs Fulham: Can Gunners Go Six Points Clear in Premier League Title Race?

Arsenal have the chance to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League when they host Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Victory would pile pressure on Manchester City, who are not back in league action until Monday’s trip to Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s side returned to the summit last weekend with a 1-0 win over Newcastle United, while City were occupied with FA Cup duties. The Gunners now have an opportunity to strengthen their grip on the title race, though they must balance domestic ambitions with the looming second leg of their Champions League semi‑final against Atlético Madrid.

Arsenal’s home form has been formidable, conceding just 11 goals in 17 league matches at the Emirates this season.

They have only lost twice on their own patch, both occasions coming when they conceded more than once. Eberechi Eze has been a standout performer in London, scoring all seven of his Premier League goals for the club in the capital.

Fulham, meanwhile, arrive with mixed form, failing to score in four of their last six league outings. Yet Marco Silva’s side remain in contention for European qualification, sitting just two points behind sixth‑placed Brighton.

Harry Wilson has been their key attacking outlet, contributing 10 goals and six assists, and his creativity will be vital if the visitors are to upset the odds.

History heavily favours Arsenal in this fixture. The Gunners are unbeaten in 32 home league meetings with Fulham, the longest such run in English league history. Fulham have also never won away against the Premier League leaders in 13 attempts.
