Arsenal and Fulham Lineups: Arteta Makes Five Changes

Arsenal hosts Fulham at the Emirates in a London derby for the 35th round of the Premier League. A victory would see the Gunners extend their lead over Manchester City to six points, though City would still have two games in hand. The Cottagers, battling for a European spot, could climb to seventh place with a win today.

Arsenal boasts an unbeaten record in their last 32 home league matches against Fulham and has suffered only one defeat in their previous 15 encounters with the West London side overall.

Midweek, Mikel Arteta's squad drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital during their Champions League semi-final first leg. The Spaniard has made five changes from that fixture. Bukayo Saka returns to the starting XI and captains the team. Martin Odegaard is not in the squad for today's match. Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ricardo Calafiori, Leandro Trossard, and Eberechi Eze also start. Incapie, Zubimendi, Martinelli, and Madueke are on the bench. Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber remain sidelined with injuries.

Marco Silva has made two adjustments compared to their victory over Aston Villa. Harrison Reed comes in for Sander Berge, and Antonee Robinson replaces the injured Ryan Sessegnon.
