Arsenal Recent Form: Last 5
Fulham Recent Form: Last 5
Key Factors
Arsenal's extreme fixture congestion (57 games played vs. Fulham's 41) creates a significant fatigue risk between two Champions League semi-final legs.
Fulham's historical struggle against league leaders: The Cottagers have never won a Premier League away match against the side sitting top of the table on matchday.
Statistical finishing regression: Arsenal have underperformed their xG in 4 of their last 5 matches, suggesting a potential 'breakout' in efficiency is overdue.
Absence of key creative outlets: Fulham will miss former Gunner Alex Iwobi and recent match-winner Ryan Sessegnon, severely limiting their transitional threat.
Injuries & Absentees
Arsenal are likely to be without Kai Havertz (muscle), Mikel Merino (foot), and Jurrien Timber (groin). The potential absence of Havertz shifts the offensive burden to Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze. Fulham are missing Alex Iwobi, Ryan Sessegnon, and Kevin, while Kenny Tete remains a major doubt. For Arsenal, the 'Replacement Impact' is high due to the need for rotation before the Atletico Madrid return leg, likely seeing players like Calafiori or Mosquera start to manage minutes for the core defense.
