With Manchester City not in league action until they face Crystal Palace, Arsenal have a massive opportunity to pile the pressure on their title rivals this Saturday.
If the Gunners defeat Fulham, they will re-establish a six point lead at the top of the table.
Mikel Arteta has urged his players to ignore the noise surrounding City’s fixture scheduling and focus on their own clinical execution.
Arsenal currently lead the league for goals scored from set-pieces, a stat they hope to exploit against a Fulham side that has been inconsistent at home.
While City possess a game in hand, the psychological advantage of a six point gap heading into the final three weeks of the season would be monumental for an Arsenal side chasing its first title in over two decades.
