Fulham vs Arsenal - Kick-off time, TV channel and live stream details
Arsenal continue to answer every title test that knocks on their door after their last-gasp winner over Bournemouth last weekend heightened the optimism around north London.
Reiss Nelson's strike in the seventh minute of stoppage time saw them come back from two-down to claim a huge victory and maintain their five-point gap over chasing Manchester City, whose win earlier in the day had put the pressure on.
The Gunners face a similar scheduling scenario this weekend with City playing a day earlier, while Mikel Arteta's men make the trip across London to face high-flying Fulham. The Cottagers have been the surprise package this season and currently sit seventh in the table.
Here is all you need to know about the match.

Team news
Arsenal have been buoyed by Gabriel Jesus' return from injury and the Brazilian could make his first Premier League appearance since November against Fulham. However, he did not travel to Lisbon to face Sporting, raising questions of whether he will be ready for the weekend.
Elsewhere, Eddie Nketiah is nursing a recent knock while Leandro Trossard sustained a minor injury in the win over Bournemouth.
Kieran Tierney and Fabio Vieira have been suffering with illness this past week but should be fit to feature. Martin Odegaard was also ill during midweek but still flew to Lisbon. Mohamed Elneny is still ruled out.
Meanwhile, Fulham look to be without five players. Layvin Kurzawa, Neeskens Kebano and Tom Cairney are injured, though the latter could return pending a late fitness test.
Loanee Cedric Soares is unable to play against his parent club while Joao Palhinha is suspended after picking up 10 bookings.
