Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Fulham, Odegaard returns
Arsenal travel to Craven Cottage for today's Premier League clash against Fulham. The Gunners will be eyeing a fifth-straight league win to move five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table.
Predicted Line-up:
Aaron Ramsdale has played every minute of the top-flight campaign, keeping 11 clean sheets. He is expected to start against the Cottagers away from home.
In defence, Mikel Arteta is likely to go with his preferred back four of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Zinchenko has been a revelation for the Gunners since the World Cup. He has won the club's Player of the Month award for January and February.
Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka are expected to start in the centre of the park. Jorginho could feature off the bench if there is any necessity.
Further forward, the Gunners could have a new-look front four. Leandro Trossard is doubtful to start following his groin injury last weekend.
Emile Smith Rowe seems likely to start on the left wing ahead of Reiss Nelson. Bukayo Saka should feature on the opposite flank as usual.
Gabriel Martinelli looks set to lead the attack. Gabriel Jesus is available after a knee surgery but he may not be risked from the starting XI.
Martin Odegaard is due to start in the number 10 role ahead of Fabio Vieira. The club captain is fit after missing the Sporting game with an illness.
Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Magalhaes, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Martinelli.
