Turning their attention back to Premier League action on Saturday night, Arsenal will welcome Fulham across the capital to north London.
Only getting their Champions League semi-final adventure underway with a fiery 1-1 stalemate away at Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in midweek, Mikel Arteta’s side have drastically failed to find any kind of stability and will have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders here.
Reigniting their European dreams and coming off the back of an eye-catching performance in west London last time out, the Cottagers will be looking to spring an almighty upset this weekend and collect a maiden Premier League victory at the Emirates.
With all eyes falling on north London on Saturday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Arsenal vs Fulham Bet Builder Tips.
A nervy affair in north London
While Arsenal might open Saturday’s return to the English capital currently leading the chase at the top of the Premier League table, Arteta’s side have a real battle on their hands in the race to claim a first domestic crown since way back in 2004.
Eventually forced to settle for that first-leg 1-1 draw away at Atletico on Wednesday night, the Gunners have shown plenty of cause for concern on either side of March’s international break.
Despite dragging themselves to a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Newcastle last weekend, Arsenal have remarkably won just a pair of their previous eight appearances across all competitions and they supporters have made their frustrations clear.
Hit with what could prove to be a season-defining 2-1 loss against bitter title rivals Manchester City on April 19th, Arteta’s side have also struggled to find any real clinical edge in the final third.
In fact, Saturday’s hosts have failed to register more than a single strike in any of those eight consecutive matchups across all fronts.

Gyokeres must play a leading role
Completing a big-money switch to north London last summer following a messy divorce from Sporting Lisbon, Viktor Gyokeres was brought to the Emirates as the man to spearhead Arsenal’s title charge.
With German international Kai Havertz sustaining a knee injury last week, Gyokeres must now show that he is the man for the big occasions and shoulder Arsenal’s goalscoring threat over the coming weeks.
Handed a full recall away at Atletico in midweek and converting from the spot in the Spanish capital, the 27-year-old has registered seven goals in his previous nine appearances for club and country.
Dragging Sweden to an iconic World Cup return after bagging four goals in his back-to-back qualifying appearances back in March, Gyokeres has also notched 12 Premier League strikes during his maiden campaign among England’s elite.
Comfortably leading the chase to claim the Gunners’ Golden Boot this month, Arsenal’s leading marksman has recorded five more top-flight strikes than any other player in Arteta’s squad.

Fulham reignite their European dreams
While there might be extended speculation over Marco Silva’s long-term future in the Craven Cottage dugout, Fulham have reignited their European charge and should find the mood in their camp at a real high.
Last seen putting in a gritty performance on home soil as they clinched a 1-0 victory against Europa League semi-finalists Aston Villa, Saturday’s guests travel to north London this weekend sat within touching distance of the top-six.
While the Cottagers might have remarkably never recorded a Premier League victory at the Emirates, they are more than capable of causing some headaches.
Losing just one of their previous five Premier League appearances, the former Everton boss has seen his squad taste just a sole domestic defeat on their travels since a 3-0 loss against Man City on February 11th.
However, it is worth highlighting, Fulham have failed to find the net in each of their last three consecutive matchups away from Craven Cottage.
