The Premier League returns in midweek with Arsenal hosting Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Gunners perhaps have one eye looking away from the league with a mouth-watering two-legged UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final against record holders Real Madrid coming up. Meanwhile, they are 12 points behind Liverpool in the so-called “title race”, with little chance of overturning that deficit so late into the season.
Mikel Arteta's men are unbeaten in five games in all competitions, but have drawn three of those. Their recent H2H record against Fulham is not the best either, as they are winless in three against the Cottagers.
However, the visitors will not cross London with high spirits after they were dumped out of the FA Cup by Crystal Palace over the weekend, losing 3-0 at Craven Cottage in the quarter-finals. That is two defeats in three for Marco Silva's side in all competitions, although they have won three of the last five.
How the bookies view it: Arsenal odds-on favourites
Arsenal are 2/5 odds-on favourites with BoyleSports to win, while a draw is 16/5 and an away victory is 7/1.
Recent head-to-head: Gunners drop vital points
In December, Arsenal dropped what now looks to be a crucial two points for their title ambitions, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage. Raul Jimenez gave the hosts an early lead, before William Saliba equalised in the second half.
Players to watch: Saka's return?
Bukayo Saka is back in training for Arsenal after a lengthy injury lay-off, and it will be interesting to see whether he gets any minutes against Fulham.
Jimenez has scored in the last two H2Hs, and is no doubt the player to watch for the Gunners.
Predicted lineups
Saka is unlikely to be thrown into the deep end from the start, so Ethan Nwaneri could start at right-wing after impressing for England U21s, where he scored a brilliant goal on his full debut. The teenage talent is 5/2 with various bookmakers to score anytime, including Ladbrokes.
Fulham could make a number of changes after a disappointing defeat to Palace last time out, with Jimenez among the names that could get recalled from the bench.
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Odegaard, Rice, Nwaneri, Trossard, Martinelli.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Lukic, Pereira, Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Jimenez.
Anything else catch the eye?
Both teams have scored in the previous three H2Hs, and Fulham have now gone 13 games without a draw in all competitions. A combination of Both Teams To Score (BTTS) and No Draw is a tempting 9/4 with BoyleSports.
Arsenal scored from a corner in the reverse fixture, and in their 1-0 win at home to Chelsea last time out. The Gunners to have Over 7.5 Total Corners is 6/4 with BoyleSports.
