Fulham vs Arsenal tips

• Over 3.5 goals @ 7/4 with William Hill
• Bukayo Saka to make an assist @ 11/4 with William Hill
• Bet builder – Leandro Trossard to have a shot on target, both teams to score and Sasa Lukic to be booked @ 11/2 with William Hill

Goals look likely at the Cottage

The Gunners, who have shown no inclination to let top-flight leaders Liverpool get out of range, will be fully fired up for their short foray to west London.

Mikel Arteta’s side go into the weekend seven points adrift of the Reds, but they can be expected to be positive about visiting Craven Cottage, having scored 15 goals in their past four matches, including the 5-2 success at West Ham United in their previous Premier League fixture on the road.

Arsenal are full of quality attacking talent, but Marco Silva’s Cottagers have proved they can give anyone in the top flight a good game at their Thamesside home and should be confident after a 3-1 success over Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday.

They had to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat to Wolves in their previous Craven Cottage match. That shows they can be plagued by inconsistency, but six of their past 10 home league fixtures have featured at least four goals and it would not be a surprise if this one did too.

Fulham vs Arsenal tip 1: Over 3.5 goals @ 7/4 with William Hill

Saka looks set to star again

England wideman Bukayo Saka tends to be at the heart of most of what Arsenal create and he can be expected to be a central player in proceedings on Sunday.

No Premier League player can top his total of 10 assists this term, including two in their 5-2 win at the Hammers the last time the Gunners were on the road.

Saka can be relied on to provide the killer pass just when Arteta’s side need it and is good value to set up a teammate for a goal that can help in Arsenal’s quest to catch Liverpool.

Expect Lukic to be back in the book

Three elements can be combined in a bet builder that will pay out at 11/2 with William Hill if successful.

Arteta is likely to shuffle his team a little as the busy December programme proceeds, and that means there should be space for Leandro Trossard, who was introduced with 20 minutes remaining of Wednesday’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

The Belgium international midfielder has had 10 goal attempts in his previous five Premier League appearances and should be backed to register a shot on target.

Both teams to score is the second part of our bet builder. There should be no holding back for either team. That punt was a winner in nine of Fulham’s past 10 home league games.

The Cottagers should welcome midfielder Sasa Lukic’s return from suspension, but he may not have to wait long for his sixth top-flight caution of the season.

The Serbia international has committed at least two fouls in each of his previous eight Premier League appearances – a total of 23 in his nine outings – and it would not be a surprise if he were cautioned again against the Gunners.
