Arsenal v Fulham LIVE: Team news as Calafiori and Saka start for Gunners in Premier League clash

Arsenal host Fulham in a crucial Premier League encounter this afternoon that will have ramifications on the title race.

The Gunners currently sit top of the table with a three point lead over Manchester City though Pep Guardiola’s men have a game in hand on their title rivals. And it is Mikel Arteta’s side who play first this weekend with the Gunners taking on Marco Silva’s impressive Fulham in a London derby that can increase the pressure on the title challengers.

Arsenal know they cannot afford to drop points in any of their remaining matches but must also win convincingly as goal difference could yet play a part in deciding if the Premier League trophy ends up in London or Manchester this year.

But their task won’t be easy as Fulham come into the match on the back of a confidence-boosting 1-0 victory over Aston Villa proving that they have the quality to challenge the teams near the top of the table.
