Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they prepare for the short trip across London to take on Fulham.
The Gunners have been in decent form as of late, picking up four wins across all competitions to gain some valuable momentum in the race for the Premier League title.
There’s plenty of work for Mikel Arteta to do though, if his side is to catch up with league leaders Liverpool, starting with three points against Fulham.
The Cottagers were undefeated against Arsenal last season, picking up a win and a draw against the title contenders.
That leaves Arteta in an awkward position when looking to overcome the side, though the latest team news has given some insight into the team available.
Arsenal team and injury news for Fulham
Arsenal had several injury doubts before Fulham, with as many as four players facing a race to fitness for the clash.
Gabriel Magalhaes’ injury left him doubtful for the game, having been substituted early for games against Sporting CP and West Ham, before missing Manchester United altogether.
Another injury doubt was Riccardo Calafiori, who was also absent from the squad against the Red Devils in midweek.
Meanwhile, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are long-term absentees with their knee problems keeping them out for a little while longer.
When it came to the team news being revealed for Fulham, it showed that both Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori were absent, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is a fresh injury concern.
The former two defenders have been suffering from injuries over the past week, with recovery in recent training sessions spent indoors for the pair.
Meanwhile, Zinchenko was a fresh concern, which means Jurrien Timber will fill in at left-back, with Thomas Partey at right-back and Jakub Kiwior at centre-back.
Declan Rice and Jorginho move into midfield, while the forward line consists of Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard.
Fulham team news for Arsenal
Fulham have three former Arsenal players in their ranks with Emile Smith Rowe, Alex Iwobi and Bernd Leno all starting in the match.
Captain Tom Cairney misses out through suspension, as he picked up a straight red card against Tottenham that puts him out of action for three matches.
Harrison Reed and Joachim Andersen miss out through injuries, while Sasa Lukic is welcomed back into the squad.
Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson is unable to play against his parent club, so doesn’t feature for Fulham in their matchday squad.
