Key Players to Watch in Arsenal vs Fulham

Myles Lewis Skelly (Arsenal)

His rise in the first team squad is something very special which also shows his quality. Recently, he made his England debut in the international break and even Thomas Tuchel is very impressed with him. He is an all-round and versatile player who can cover multiple positions with ease and effectiveness if needed.

Skelly is a great mix of a progressive passer and carrier who always tries to find vertical options in his game. The Gunner fullback is technically very good as he is able to beat players in duels and get past them quite easily. he likes to have the ball at his feet and feels comfortable in combination play.

Skelly possesses high stamina, energy and the ability to go on lung-bursting runs throughout the game. He has played 14 games this season and has scored one goal.

Joachim Andersen (Fulham)

The Danish center-back has a huge frame as he is 6ft4 and is very well known for his ball playing ability on the pitch. The Dane has other tools at his disposal, his talent for breaking the lines from the defensive third underscores his value tactically and individually. He is a key player for Fulham and with his physicality, he can dominate any opponent on the pitch.

Even though in the last match, Fulham's performance was awful and collectively as a team, they failed to get a good result. Andersen and his men will be determined to give their best against the Gunners.

He is someone who is comfortable in both short and long passes and can brilliantly switch play through his long balls. In this season he has played 20 matches and has got four yellow cards till now.

Arsenal vs Fulham Prediction

The Gunners are in good form and they have a good record this season at their home ground. Fulham on the other hand, suffered a heavy defeat in the FA Cup and will be a bit underconfident going into this fixture.

Overall, Arsenal have a very good record against Fulham, and without a doubt, they are the favourites to win this fixture on Wednesday.
