Arsenal to face Fulham in Premier League match

Arsenal Seeks to Regain Title Lead Against Fulham on Saturday

Arsenal will host London rivals Fulham at Emirates Stadium on May 2, with a win potentially increasing their lead over Premier League title rivals Manchester City. The Gunners are six points clear of City, who have two games in hand, if they secure the victory.

The match comes after Arsenal’s 1-0 home win over Newcastle United last weekend, which ended a four-match losing streak in domestic competitions. In contrast, City will not play again in the league until Monday, when they face Everton.

Fulham, currently sitting in 10th place with four games remaining, are still in contention for European qualification and will look to exploit any Arsenal fatigue after their 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semis on Wednesday. The west London club has never won away from Emirates Stadium in all competitions.

Arsenal’s history against Fulham is favorable, with a record of 44 wins and nine losses. However, City’s record at Everton is impressive, having lost none of their last 18 games in all competitions.

The match will be the 67th meeting between Arsenal and Fulham, with the Gunners winning 44 of the previous encounters. The teams have a long history, dating back to an FA Cup tie in 1904, which Arsenal won 3-2.
