Yahoo Sports

Fulham XI vs Arsenal – Predicted lineup and team news Fulham travel to the Emirates Stadium aiming to bolster their bid for European qualification with a win over leaders Arsenal. Marco Silva’s side sit just two points behind sixth-placed Brighton with four games left. However, history is firmly against the visitors in this North London encounter.

Fulham have never won an away Premier League match against a league leader. The Cottagers have also found goals difficult to come by on their travels recently. They have failed to score in three consecutive away matches heading into Saturday.

Marco Silva must inspire more consistency if they are to claim a first European spot since 2012. That said, Fulham have already proven they can disrupt top teams this season. Fulham team news Marco Silva faces several selection issues due to recent injury setbacks.

Ryan Sessegnon is out after suffering a muscle injury in the win over Aston Villa. Alex Iwobi also misses the chance to face his former club with a hamstring problem. Silva hopes right-back Kenny Tete can prove his fitness after four games out.

Club-record signing Kevin will definitely miss out as he recovers from a foot injury. In his absence, Harry Wilson remains the most vital attacking outlet for the Cottagers. Wilson leads the team with 10 goals and six assists this season.
