Mikel Arteta’s men head into the clash on the back of a mid-week draw against Ademola Lookman’s Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
Fulham, meanwhile, have won just two of their last five league games, dropping into the bottom half of the Premier League table and putting their chances of European football in jeopardy.

There is also a fascinating Nigerian subplot to monitor throughout the evening. Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, all of whom have Nigerian heritage, line up for Arsenal.
At the same time, Fulham’s Calvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze will look to put a dent on the Gunners’ title chase. Alex Iwobi is out with a hamstring injury.
