Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard challenges Alexandar Mitrovic

Follow live coverage as Fulham face Arsenal in the Premier League today.

They come into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Sporting in the Europa League but buoyed by the return to the squad of Gabriel Jesus, who is on the bench today after missing the start of 2023 with a knee injury.

Fulham are going well this season and currently sit eighth in the table. Marco Silva’s side can leap to sixth, above Newcastle United, with three points against the leaders.

Arsenal like moving the ball from right to left. This time Odegaard and Trossard combine before the former Brighton man passes it out to Martinelli on the left side of the box. In space, he tries to slide the ball to Xhaka who makes a run towards the byline but puts too much power on it.

Adarabioyo looks to have lost out to Martinelli on the left wing with the Brazilian trying to go around him, but recovers to keep the ball and send it down the wing. A good moment for the defender who is starting his first game in the Premier League for over two months.

On the left flank, Odegaard plays a short free-kick to Zinchenko with the Ukranine international passing it out to Martinelli. The Arsenal winger tries to curl a ball into the box with Gabriel running free of his marker, but it goes out for a goal-kick.

Xhaka and Zinchenko switch positions when Arsenal are in possession. The former Manchester City man moves inside from left-back and creates an option with Arsenal keep to keep possession for as long as possible.

Arsenal pass the ball around their defence well and are controlling the ball. However, a pass from Ramsdale goes under the foot of Gabriel and they give away a cheap throw-in in their half.
