Fulham vs Arsenal: Clash of Fortunes in Premier League Showdown"
Fulham, currently positioned 13th in the Premier League standings, is seeking redemption after a surprising 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Their journey this season has been less than stellar, and they face a tough challenge against Arsenal.
In contrast, Arsenal sits comfortably in second place, displaying an overall impressive performance. However, a recent setback in the form of a 2-0 loss to West Ham United has left the Gunners eager to make a strong statement in the upcoming clash.
Head-to-Head and Key Numbers:
Arsenal boasts a dominant historical record against Fulham, winning 42 out of the 62 matches played, while Fulham has managed only eight victories.
Fulham's commendable 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture marked a notable achievement, as they aim to avoid a single-season defeat to Arsenal for the first time since 2011-12.
Arsenal's away prowess against Fulham is evident, having secured victories in their last five away encounters in the Premier League. They've impressively scored at least three goals in each of their last four matches on Fulham's turf.
Fulham has a tradition of finishing the year on a positive note, winning their final league game in five of the last eight calendar years. Their sole defeat during this period occurred against Sheffield United in the 2021 Championship.
In London derbies, Fulham has faced struggles, losing five of their last seven home clashes in the Premier League without finding the back of the net in any of those defeats.
As the two teams prepare to lock horns, Fulham seeks to overcome recent setbacks, while Arsenal aims to regain momentum and solidify their standing in the Premier League. The clash promises to be an intriguing battle between contrasting fortunes.
