One more Premier League game to go today: it’s Fulham v Arsenal, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

TEAM NEWS

Marco Silva welcomes back Raul Jimenez after injury, so the Cottagers (presumably) go back to a 4-2-3-1 after a dalliance with a strikerless wing-back system in Gameweek 7.

Jorge Cuenca also comes in as Calvin Bassey and Issa Diop make way.

With Sasa Lukic injured, Tom Cairney steps up in the middle of the park.

Arsenal are pretty much at full strength, or at least as strong as injuries allow.

In terms of changes from the last Premier League game, it’s just Martin Zubimendi in for the sidelined Martin Odegaard in midfield.

Ben White is fit and on the bench.

LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Cuenca, Sessegnon, Berge, Iwobi, Cairney, King, Wilson, Jimenez.

Subs: Lecomte, Tete, Reed, Bassey, Reed, Adama, Kusi-Asare, Kevin, Diop, Smith Rowe.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres.

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Norgaard, Nwaneri, Merino, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.

    Arsenal triple defence is probably the most set and forget defence if ever there was one.
