Arsenal return to Premier League action at the top of the table as they prepare to take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening. Indeed, the Gunners ran out 2-0 winners against West Ham at the Emirates Stadium last time out to leapfrog previous leaders Liverpool, who lost 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a later kick-off.
Meanwhile, Fulham threw away a lead at Bournemouth to eventually lose 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium. However, on home soil, they have been formidable of late, with four wins in a row in all competitions.

Arsenal preview: Odegaard injury blow
Arsenal are set to be without Martin Odegaard until the next international break, according to reports. Piero Hincapie is back in training though and could replace him in the squad.
Predicted lineup: Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Eze, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres & Trossard
Last five results:
- Arsenal 2-0 West Ham
- Arsenal 2-0 Olympiacos
- Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal
- Port Vale 0-2 Arsenal

Player to watch: Eberechi Eze
With Odegaard injured, Eze could get a chance to play in his preferred position for Arsenal. He is fresh from scoring for England on international duty, and could cause Fulham problems.
