Gunners can pile more pressure on Manchester City in thrilling Premier League title race

The Gunners were briefly knocked off the top of the table by Manchester City but got back on track with a nervy 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend to open up a three-point gap.

Arsenal must guard against fatigue having played away from home in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but the performance in the semi-final first-leg draw with Atletico Madrid has provided some cause for optimism.

Mid-table Fulham, meanwhile, are among a cluster of teams firmly in the race for Europe - whether that be the Europa League or the Conference League - and are on a decent run of form with just two defeats in their last eight Premier League matches.

Arsenal vs Fulham is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off today on Saturday May 2, 2026.

The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

TV channel: In the UK, today’s game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Coverage starts at 5pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.

Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Matt Verri at the ground.

Arsenal vs Fulham team news

Arteta has to ponder whether to freshen up his side with one eye on the second leg against Atletico on Tuesday.

The good news for the Gunners boss is that he is starting to get key players back. Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze should both start after coming off the bench in the second half in Madrid.

Riccardo Calafiori is also pushing for a return and could replace Piero Hincapie at left-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly might get some minutes in midfield if Martin Zubimendi or Declan Rice are rested.

Kai Havertz - who could return in midweek - is set to miss out again, along with Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino. Martin Odegaard is a doubt.

Kenny Tete could return for Fulham having not played since the stalemate with Nottingham Forest on March 15.

Ryan Sessegnon will not feature against Arsenal, with last week’s match-winner against Aston Villa joining Alex Iwobi and Kevin on the sidelines.

Arsenal vs Fulham prediction

Every Premier League game is a must-win for Arsenal given how tight the title race is. With the opportunity to go six points clear of Man City, who have a tough game away at Everton, the Gunners simply can’t let this slip.

While Fulham are in decent form, they have struggled for goals of late and have only won four times away from home in the league all season.

We expect another nervy showing from Arsenal but they should get the job done eventually.

Arsenal to win, 2-0.

The last five meetings between these two London rivals have either been drawn or settled by only one goal.

Arsenal wins: 44

Fulham wins: 9

Draws: 13

Arsenal to win: 40/85

Fulham to win: 13/2

Draw: 17/5
