The Gunners beat Chelsea 1-0 before the March international break and are looking to build on that victory as they host Fulham on April 1, 2025. Africa Football editor Bill Eshun provides his prediction of the upcoming Premier League clash.
Key Facts
- Arsenal are 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool
- Fulham were knocked out by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup
Match Overview
The Gunners are seemingly out of the title race for the third consecutive season but are still fighting for pride and Champions League qualification. They will also be aiming to carry momentum into the final stretch of the campaign, with European glory still a possibility.
The return of Bukayo Saka to full training is a major boost for Mikel Arteta’s side as they prepare to face a Fulham team that recently suffered a crushing 3-0 FA Cup defeat to Crystal Palace. Confidence will be low in Marco Silva’s camp, making this a challenging fixture for the visitors.
Partey Returns With Confidence
Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey returns to the Gunners in top form after an impressive international window. He scored twice in Ghana’s 3-0 win over Madagascar during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Partey has been a key part of Arsenal’s midfield when fit, and although he’s nearing the end of his contract, his experience and control in the middle of the park will be crucial. While he’s expected to play a deeper role, his leadership and ability to dictate tempo could prove decisive.
