Arsenal vs Fulham Prediction
Arsenal have endured a disappointing season in the Premier League, and are currently 9th in the league table. Their best chance to play Champions League football next season is to ensure that they win the Europa League.
Fulham, on the other hand, are 18th in the Premier League. They are six points behind 17th-placed Newcastle United, who have played a game less. Scott Parker's side have played some good football, but have now lost their last four league games.
Arsenal should be able to triumph here.
