Attention switches to the Premier League title race in the evening kick-off, as Arsenal attempt to go six points clear of Manchester City.

Fulham provide the Gunners’ opposition in the 5.30pm BST match.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta has made five changes from the midweek draw in Madrid.

The fit-again Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze return to the starting XI this evening, while Leandro Trossard is also brought back in.

Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli have to make do with substitute duty but Martin Odegaard is absent entirely. Arteta had raised doubts about the Norwegian’s availability on Friday.

Riccardo Calafiori replaces Piero Hincapie at left-back, too.

In a slightly surprising call, Myles Lewis-Skelly comes into midfield as Martin Zubimendi drops to the bench.

Harrison Reed and Antonee Robinson come into the line-up, with Sander Berge and Ryan Sessegnon unavailable through illness and injury.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Eze, Trossard, Saka, Gyokeres

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Mosquera, Hincapie, Jesus, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Zubimendi, Dowman.

    What a difference a week makes, bookies now have Arsenal 65% chance to win title and West Ham most favourite to go down!

      That’s simply because they have points in the bag and City and Spuds are yet to play.

      I've always been curious how the CS and Title chance percentages are calculated... actually in fact the xg too... just seems random to a degree like house valuations

      Thoughts on Eze tonight?

    • Do any of you have any great film recommendations from the past few years?

      Films I have loved in recent years would be Parasite, Whiplash, The Holdovers, Dune Part l & ll, The Father, Captain Fantastic

          Because the pages are flying with FPL related comments right? It’s because of miserable sods like you that these boards are dying. Bro.
