Arsenal vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-03-31 18:45.
[p]Arsenal headed into March’s international break on the back of a 1-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea, but it’s still very unlikely that victory will help them to end a 20-year Premier League trophy drought. The Gunners spent the international break 12 points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, so they’re heavily reliant on a collapse from the Reds if they’re to seal the title.[/p]
[p]Another London derby awaits as Fulham visit the Emirates Stadium, and Mikel Arteta’s men will likely savour this fixture given their stunning H2H record on home soil. Arsenal have remarkably never lost across their 31 home league H2Hs (W24, D7) – the most home games one side has played against another without ever losing in English Football League history![/p]
[p]That’s an ominous statistic for a Fulham side who were thumped in another London derby on Saturday, going down 3-0 on home turf against Crystal Palace to exit the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage. Boss Marco Silva lamented a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal in the aftermath, but fewer distractions could help the Cottagers as they look to close out a potentially historic league campaign.[/p]
[p]Beginning the round just four points shy of the top four, Fulham retain a very realistic chance of qualifying for European football for the first time since the 2010/11 season. Greater consistency would certainly help on that front as Silva’s men have managed successive league wins just once since November, but he’s certainly been able to rely on his bench to bail him out as 13 of their Premier League goals this season have been netted by substitutes – a tally bettered by only four sides in a single campaign in competition history![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Of the six Premier League goals that Arsenal’s Mikel Merino has scored, three came after the 80th minute in victories. Former Gunner turned Fulham star Emile Smith Rowe has been on the winning side in 19 of his last 20 goalscoring appearances (L1), including all five for the Cottagers. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Arsenal have won all seven of their Premier League games on April 1st – the joint-best 100% win record on a specific date in competition history.[/p]
