After an impressive game and a 4-0 away victory against Slavia Prague, Arsenal are returning to their obligations in the Premier League. Today, they play the London derby against the Fulham team, which is in a very bad situation. Winning today's match is very important for the host for several reasons. Although they are in 9th place with 9 points less than the place that leads to Europe, Arsenal still has a chance to reach that place. By the end of the season, they have a much easier schedule than the current main competitor, Chelsea, they are meeting with teams like WBA, Newcastle, Brighton. It is in matches against such rivals that Arsenal see their chance to be able to do something more in the league. Since they do not have any matches in the next 7 days, and the match with Villarreal in the Europa League will be played in only 11 days, in today's derby I expect the strongest team of the hosts. In the absence of Aubameyang, Lacazette has taken the lead in attack and with 4 goals in the last 2 matches shows that he is returning to recognizable form. 

As I said, Fulham is in a seemingly hopeless situation. They are in one place behind the safe zone, but it should be noted that they have one game more and seven points less than the team from that place. 4 defeats in the last 4 matches are certainly not a good indicator before today's derby. Fulham's defense is really low and the mistakes they make show that the players do not have the quality needed for the Premier League. This was best seen in the game against Aston Villa in which they took the lead, but they managed to concede as many as 3 goals in 10 minutes. Similar to defense, the situation is not the best in attack. After Sheffield, the Fulham team is the most inefficient in the league with only 24 goals scored in 32 games. 

In the last 6 matches between them, Arsenal has the same number of victories, and the fact that in the last 29 games at home, Arsenal have not lost a single game against Fulham seems really impressive. I believe that the difference in class between these two teams will be crucial in today's match and that Arsenal will score a safe 3 points.
