Fulham vs Arsenal Preview: Gunners Look to Bounce Back from Midweek Blow

Arsenal hopes to recover from their recent defeat as they face Fulham in a Premier League London derby.

Arsenal suffered a setback in their title aspirations after a disappointing loss to West Ham. The Gunners had the opportunity to reclaim the top spot, but goals from Tomas Soucek and Dinos Mavropanos dashed their hopes. Now, Mikel Arteta's men find themselves two points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Fulham, on the other hand, has struggled in their last three Premier League matches, conceding eight goals without scoring any. Arsenal will be looking to capitalize on Fulham's defensive weaknesses and secure a much-needed victory.

When and Where?

The Fulham vs Arsenal match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 31, at 2pm GMT. The game will be held at Craven Cottage, which can accommodate approximately 25,700 fans.

In their previous encounter in August, Fulham managed to hold Arsenal to a 2-2 draw thanks to Joao Palhinha's late goal.

How to Watch?

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK. Coverage is set to start at 1:30pm GMT on both channels, half an hour before kick-off. Fans can also stream the game on NOW TV. For minute-by-minute updates, you can follow SunSport's blog.
