Arsenal could go six points clear at the top of the Premier League table if they beat Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Gunners moved back to the top of the table with a 1-0 win at home to Newcastle United last weekend, and they can extend their lead with Manchester City not playing until Monday night away at Everton.
Meanwhile, Fulham moved into the top half of the table with a their own 1-0 home victory against Aston Villa last time out, and they are just one point away from the European places.

Arsenal come into this having drawn 1-1 at Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
They will have one eye on the crucial second leg on Tuesday night, but Fulham is now the priority.
A win would see Mikel Arteta's side move six points clear of Man City at the top of the table, albeit having played two games more.
A first Premier League title in 22 years is still in their hands, and it would be the best season in the club's history if they can also win the Champions League.
As for Fulham, there is still plenty to play for as they are just one point off of the European spots.
The Cottagers have experienced European football before, but these chances do not come around often for a club of its relative size.
A top-seven finish could also persuade Marco Silva, who is out of contract this summer, to stay, alongside star player Harry Wilson.
However, having never won away to Arsenal in 32 previous attempts, it is a huge challenge for the West Londoners to take all three points at the Emirates.

Whispers predicts: Arsenal 2-0 Fulham
Arsenal are 10/21 favourites to win, but while we agree with the bookies, these odds are too short for us to back.
Instead, our first recommended bet is BTTS - No at 17/20, as the Gunners have kept clean sheets in their last two home games.
Their previous four matches have also been fairly low-scoring, with only one of them producing over two goals.
Thus, Under 2.5 goals at 11/10 also appeals to us.
In terms of potential goalscorers, Viktor Gyokeres has netted two penalties recently against Bournemouth and at Atletico to bring up 19 goals in all competitions, and with doubts over Kai Havertz's fitness, the Swede should continue to lead the line in search of number 20.
Gyokeres to score anytime at 7/5 is our final punt, and our 2-0 prediction in favour of Arsenal is available at 13/2.
> BTTS - No at 17/20 | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 11/10 | Likelihood: Possible
> Gyokeres to score anytime at 7/5 | Likelihood: Possible
