Fulham vs Arsenal Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Gunners to maintain place at the summit

Premier League leaders Arsenal will be looking to preserve their place at the top of the standings when they head across London to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in Saturday's evening kick-off. The Gunners were 2-0 winners over another rival from the capital, West Ham, before the international break and that coupled with Liverpool's defeat at Chelsea, was enough to move them into first place.

Mikel Arteta's side are now chasing a fifth win on the bounce across all competitions and they could well be facing Fulham at the right time, with the Cottagers having lost their last two and lacking in forward options. Read on for our Fulham vs Arsenal Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips.

Fulham vs Arsenal Odds

Arsenal to win

Arsenal may not be blowing many teams away, but there is a ruthless edge to the Gunners that has perhaps been missing over recent seasons, highlighted by their run of eight wins in 10 matches across all competitions this term.

That sequence includes their ongoing four-match winning run and they will be confident of extending that to five against a Fulham team who have only triumphed in one of the last 14 meetings between the two sides.

Fulham's form is shaky, they have lost their last two against Aston Villa and Bournemouth - conceding three times in both of those defeats - and Arsenal should be celebrating their sixth league win of the season come the final whistle in West London.

Both teams to score - no

Arsenal's success has been built on a solid defence for some time, as they have conceded the fewest goals in each of the last two Premier League seasons, while this term they have let in just three goals across their seven top-flight games.

The Gunners have only conceded in three of their 10 matches across all competitions and their chances of shutting out Fulham on Saturday are boosted by the Cottagers' fitness concerns in the final third.

Manager Marco Silva may not have a first-team centre-forward to call upon on Saturday, with Rodrigo Muniz definitely missing out with a hamstring issue and Raul Jimenez struggling with a groin problem.

Fulham would have a tough time breaking down this Arsenal defence even with a fully fit front line, but without either or both of Muniz and Jimenez, they may struggle to lay a glove on their opponents.

Jurrien Timber 1+ shots on target

Heading into the weekend only Manchester United have had more shots than Arsenal in the Premier League, but when it comes to shots on target there is a surprise name at the top of the list for the Gunners.

Defender Jurrien Timber has managed five shots on target in seven league appearances this season, more than Bukayo Saka and also big-money summer signings Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres.

The Dutchman has scored two goals and provided the same number of assists, further underlining his attacking quality - he can register at least one more shot on target on Saturday.
