The title race in the 2025/26 Premier League is heating up, and no one wants to drop points along the way. Arsenal host Fulham at home and are aiming to secure all three points at the Emirates Stadium to remain top of the table with only a few matches left in the season.
Mikel Arteta’s team heads into this match with 73 points, three more than its closest challenger, Manchester City. However, it’s worth noting that the Citizens still have a game in hand against Crystal Palace; if they win it, they would draw level with the Gunners, and that’s where goal difference could come into play.
Only four matches remain in the league. The other big goal? The UEFA Champions League, where Arsenal already secured a valuable draw against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the semifinals.
