Arsenal and Fulham will meet at the Emirates Stadium in the 30th week of the 2024/2025 Premier League season. The Arsenal vs. Fulham Premier League match is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday, 2 April 2025 at 12:15 IST,
Arsenal host Fulham as they look to move closer to the top of the table. The Gunners currently have 58 points, 12 behind leaders Liverpool. Fulham, meanwhile, are eighth on 45 points.
Arsenal edged out Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates before the international break thanks to a Mikel Merino strike. Fulham, meanwhile, suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. The result came as a blow to Marco Silva’s side ahead of their trip to the Emirates.
Arsenal have been consistent in the Premier League with just one defeat in their last 19 games. They have also been strong at home this season, losing just once in 14 games at the Emirates. This impressive record makes Arsenal favourites to take all three points.
However, Fulham are not to be underestimated, especially away from home. They have scored in each of their last 13 Premier League away games, showing the threat they can pose up front. Fulham have won five and lost four of their last nine league games.
The first meeting of the season ended in a 1-1 draw at Fulham’s home ground on Matchday 15. Arsenal are winless in their last three Premier League meetings with Fulham. It is a statistic that Mikel Arteta will need to keep an eye on if his side are to avoid dropping any more points.
However, Arsenal have a very dominant home record against Fulham in the Premier League. In 17 meetings at the Emirates and Highbury, Arsenal have never lost, with a record of 11 wins and six draws. This historical advantage will certainly be an important asset for the hosts.
It will also be a test for Arsenal’s defence to contain Fulham’s aggression. The sharpness of the away side could prove a challenge for Gabriel Magalhaes and his backline colleagues. Meanwhile, Arsenal will be relying on Martin Odegaard’s creativity to break down Fulham’s defence.
If Arsenal are to keep pace with Liverpool, they cannot afford to drop any points in this game.
