Many wondered how the absence of tackling talisman Joao Palhinha would impact Fulham’s chances of a positive result against Brentford, and the travelling Cottagers fans witnessed their side’s seven-game unbeaten run come to an end in a five-goal spectacular.
Palhinha’s replacement Sasa Lukic was also extremely lucky not to have seen red for a second bookable offence, and despite still sitting pretty in seventh place in the table, Fulham’s European destiny is out of their own hands, with Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion all boasting games in hand. Nevertheless, a six-game scoring streak is a welcome statistic before the visit of an Arsenal side whose rearguard has been far from impenetrable recently.

For the second time in the space of a few days, an inability to defend set-pieces nearly cost Arsenal dear, as Sporting held the Premier League leaders to a four-goal draw in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 battle at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Lamenting his side’s recent tendency to concede sloppy goals, Mikel Arteta would have been left less than impressed with Arsenal’s rearguard efforts against Bournemouth too, but the pandemonium that followed Reiss Nelson’s last-gasp winner soon paled those defensive concerns into insignificance. Entering the weekend still five points clear of Manchester City at the summit, Arsenal’s lead will be reduced if the champions can glean a positive result against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Martinelli, Nelson
With star striker Mitrovic fit and firing again, Fulham ought to have no problems troubling a permeable Arsenal backline, especially with the Gunners facing a rapid turnaround from their Europa League exertions on Iberian soil. However, Brentford needed no second invitation to expose the Cottagers’ weaknesses with Palhinha absent.
Fulham 1-2 Arsenal, predicted by us.
