Storylines

Arsenal: After going months without losing, Arsenal has lost three of its last five. The defense has been a big reason why. Twelve goals conceded in the last five, the defense has been slow to react and got absolutely demolished against Liverpool. Can the team put it together here?

Fulham: A great 1-0 win last time out against Huddersfield, but the team is still in the drop zone. With 14 points, Fulham is a point back from safety in what appears to be a seven-team relegation battle. At the Emirates, Fulham will be thrilled with a point. 

Arsenal vs. Fulham prediction

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang start and deliver, but Arsenal's defense nearly blows it again. 

Pick: Arsenal (-325)
