Player Focus

Bukayo Saka

Football bet predictions show that Arsenal are likely to be the more attacking of the two sides and Fulham adopting a pragmatic and compact approach. Arsenal’s attackers, led by Bukayo Saka will be crucial during the match. 

Arsenal’s blunt attack was exposed by the resilient defensive masterclass of West Ham on Thursday as the Hammers dented Arsenal’s title credentials with a win at the Emirates. 

Mikel Arteta will hope that Saka, his top scorer so far this season, will be in inspired form at Craven Cottage when they take on Fulham on Sunday.

Joao Palhinha

Football prediction analysis reveal that Fulham will need all their defensive mastery on Sunday against an Arsenal side looking to bounce back from a damaging defeat. Joao Palhinha, their midfield enforcer, will be pivotal to their hopes of getting something from this match.

The central midfielder provides defensive solidity, tackling to win possession and mobility in the middle of the pack. He will be essential in the clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

Tactical Analysis

Expert soccer predictions highlight the tactical formations of the two sides ahead of kickoff. Arsenal will adopt a front-foot approach to the game, dominating the ball and setting the match’s tempo.

Fulham will be aggressive but pragmatic in their approach. They will build up from the back when possible but also use the out-ball to their attackers when forced by the Arsenal press.
