The damage is deeper than the table suggests \u2014 the Cottagers face the real possibility of conceding <strong>3+ goals in three straight games<\/strong> for the first time since 2020. Their recent defeats have included a 3\u20130 home loss to Arsenal, and manager <strong>Marco Silva<\/strong> will be desperate to avoid a replay of that humiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, Craven Cottage has often been a safer ground: across competitions, Fulham have won each of their last four home fixtures. A fortress? Not precisely, but solid enough that they won\u2019t be overawed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, Arsenal head into this match buoyed by consistency. A 2\u20130 win over West Ham before the international break saw them top the table after seven matchdays. That result also extended their strong London derby record: in their last 18 top-flight derbies, they\u2019ve lost just once (W13, D4). Since 2025 began, they\u2019ve lost only 3 of 27 Premier League matches (W15, D9) \u2014 the <strong>fewest among ever-present teams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their away record is also impressive: just one defeat in their past 17 Premier League road games (W9, D7), and that lone loss came against Liverpool, the defending champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head and Key Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fulham have won only once in their last 14 Premier League meetings with Arsenal (D4, L9).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arsenal have scored in <strong>each of their last 20<\/strong> matches against Fulham in the Premier League.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This season, <strong>five<\/strong> of Fulham\u2019s league matches were level at half-time \u2014 a league-high figure.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fulham have kept just <strong>one clean sheet<\/strong> across their last 16 league fixtures.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arsenal, despite their dominance, have only scored <strong>one<\/strong> of their 14 league goals before the 30th minute this season.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In each of their last <strong>six Premier League games<\/strong>, Arsenal have faced <strong>10 or fewer shots<\/strong> \u2014 a testament to their defensive structure and control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken together, these stats lean in Arsenal\u2019s favor: they often find a way to break down Fulham, and the home side struggles to keep clean sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/images-2025-10-18T104807.735.jpg\" alt=\"Fulham vs Arsenal Prediction: Who Will Prevail at Craven Cottage?\" class=\"wp-image-12569\" style=\"width:969px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/images-2025-10-18T104807.735.jpg 275w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/images-2025-10-18T104807.735-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players to Watch and Absentees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Alex Iwobi<\/strong> (formerly of Arsenal) has been one of Fulham\u2019s few bright sparks.
