Arsenal welcome Fulham to the Emirates on Saturday evening with the league leaders three points clear of Manchester City but watching their game-in-hand opponents like a hawk, and the visitors arriving in 10th place with realistic top-seven ambitions of their own.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Arsenal vs Fulham prediction has the home side winning, Gyokeres to score and a 2-0 read on a Fulham side that travels without a fit attacking spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market has Arsenal as the heavy favourite. The story is whether they can do their bit and force City to keep doing theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off is 5:30 PM local (12:30 PM ET) on Saturday, May 2. Arsenal sit top of the Premier League<\/a> on 73 points, three clear of Manchester City who have a game in hand. Fulham are 10th on 48 points, one off the Conference League spot held by Bournemouth and arriving on the back of a 1-0 home win over Aston Villa eleven days ago. Arsenal won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Craven Cottage in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 make Arsenal heavy home favourites at -225 with Fulham out at +600 and the draw +333. Viktor Gy\u00f6keres at +120 for anytime goalscorer is the cleanest read on the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal to win<\/strong><\/td>\n-225 @ bet365<\/a>
(69.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nTop of the table, at home and with maximum motivation to keep pace with Manchester City. Fulham have lost five of their last six on the road against top-five opposition.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Viktor Gy\u00f6keres anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+120 @ bet365<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nTwelve Premier League goals from 32 matches with 18 shots on target and an xG of 6.59 \u2014 comfortably outperforming his underlying numbers. Arsenal’s lead striker against a Fulham defence built around Andersen and Bassey.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-125 @ bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThree of Arsenal’s last four home league games have gone over 2.5; Fulham have produced over 2.5 in eight of their last twelve in all venues.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bukayo Saka anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+175 @ bet365<\/a>
(36.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSix goals and three assists from 28 matches, with 26 shots on target, 48 successful dribbles and an xA of 5.39. The width and the chance creation in one player.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-0 Arsenal<\/strong><\/td>\n+650 @ bet365<\/a>
(13.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArsenal need this for the title race, the home record against Fulham at the Emirates is dominant, and the Gyokeres-vs-Andersen central mismatch points to a clean-sheet home win. 2-0 is the modal result Arsenal have produced at home this season.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both teams to score \u2014 No<\/strong><\/td>\n-134 @ bet365<\/a>
(57.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArsenal have kept five clean sheets in their last seven at the Emirates and Fulham travel without their most reliable away threat fit. The shutout pairs naturally with the 2-0 correct-score read.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Arsenal to win with Gy\u00f6keres anytime goalscorer is the clean parlay at bet365<\/a>; Saka anytime adds a second Arsenal angle for the more aggressive ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
