Fulham FC will be looking to deny their London rivals, Arsenal FC, a third successive Premier League victory at Craven Cottage on 18 October.
Current Form
The Cottagers suffered a 3-1 loss to AFC Bournemouth away on 3 October and they are now winless in two matches in the league.
However, Fulham are undefeated in their last three home matches in the Premier League, having recorded back-to-back victories and one draw at Craven Cottage.
Meanwhile, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over West Ham United at home on 4 October and they are unbeaten in their last four matches in the league.
The Gunners have won two of their last three matches on the road and the other game ended in a defeat as the away side in the Premier League.
Team News
Rodrigo Muniz, Kenny Tete and Saša Lukić are all in Fulham's injury list, but there are no suspension concerns for the West London-based side.
Arsenal, on the other hand, also do not have any suspension concerns, but Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are on the club's injury list.
Quotes
"We know how difficult those games are going to be," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said about their upcoming games after masterminding a victory over West Ham.
"But we wanted to come here because we had some very difficult fixtures, playing some of the top teams, some of them away and with some big injuries as well. We had to adjust a lot of things with some players who were coming as well from big injuries and surgeries in the first few weeks of the season.
"So it's been a challenge but the team has been, I think, very convincing in performances and results and it's a good platform now to continue."
Head-to-Head
Arsenal secured a 2-1 win over Fulham in their last meeting in the league, which was on 1 April at Emirates Stadium.
Therefore, the Gunners are undefeated in their last two matches in the league against the Cottagers, having recorded one win and one draw.
