The match week 15 of the Premier League will see the London Derby as Fulham will host Arsenal at Craven Cottage.
The Cottagers are enjoying a decent campaign so far as they are sitting in 9th position after beating Brighton 3-1 in their last game. They have the momentum but they'd face a daunting task against a resurgent Arsenal.
The Gunners travel to Craven Cottage on the back of a 2-0 win over Man United. What Marco Silva and his men must do is to not give Mikel Arteta's men any unnecessary set pieces. Arsenal's ability to dominate set pieces, as seen midweek, could be decisive against Fulham.

Fulham vs. Arsenal lineups, team news
Fulham will be without Sasa Lukic and Tom Cairney remain suspended. Adding to these woes, Harrison Reed is out following knee surgery and is expected to return by late January.
Good news is that Joachim Andersen is nearing full fitness, but this game comes too soon for the defender, leaving home side with limited options at the back against Arsenal’s potent attack.

Injured: Reed (knee), Andersen (calf)
Suspended: Lukic, Cairney
As for the visitors, Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori are expected to return after being rested in their midweek win over Manchester United.
Arsenal will still be without full-backs Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who are nursing knee injuries with no imminent return in sight.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori — Odegaard, Partey, Rice — Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
Injured: White (knee), Tomiyasu (knee), Gabriel (doubtful), Calafiori (doubtful)
Suspended: None
Fulham vs. Arsenal prediction
Every game from here on is a must win for Arsenal because if they slip up they might also get adrift of the top spot with Liverpool running away with it. But their next game is against a Fulham team who have been the dark horses this season.
Sure, the Gunners are the favorites to come out with all the three points but don't take the Cottagers for granted, especially in a London Derby.
Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Arsenal
