Fulham vs Arsenal: Premier League – LIVE!
Premier League leaders Arsenal head into today’s meeting with Fulham at Craven Cottage under pressure to respond to Manchester City’s win on Saturday. The Gunners have seen their lead cut to two points and now must deal with the added burden of Europa League football as they attempt to end a 19-year wait for a League title.
Quite how continental competition will complicate matters for Mikel Arteta remains to be seen but a visit to Fulham is hardly an ideal return. One of the success stories of the Premier League this season, they are a difficult team to play against and Marco Silva’s side impressed during the return fixture at the Emirates Stadium before the World Cup.
Still, these are the games Arsenal simply need to win if they are going to be crowned champions. Follow all of the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog. Dom Smith and Simon Collings will be providing expert analysis from the ground!
