In English Premier League action on Sunday, Fulham (11 wins, 9 losses, 6 draws) hosts table-topper Arsenal (20-3-3) at Craven Cottage at 10 a.m. ET (Peacock/fuboTV). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Fulham vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.
Fulham was on the short end of a wide 3-2 loss at Brentford on Monday, which snapped a 7-match unbeaten run for the Cottagers (4 wins, 3 draws). Fulham is rather stout at home, posting a total of 22 points at Craven Cottage this season.
Arsenal, the EPL leader with 63 points, also check in 2nd with a plus-34 goal differential. The Gunners have bagged 11 goals in the previous 3 trips to Craven Cottage, but Arsenal could have some issues since Gabriel Jesus is sidelined, and Martin Odegaard is doubtful to play due to illness.

Fulham vs. Arsenal picks and predictions
Prediction
Fulham 1, Arsenal 1
Moneyline (ML)
DRAW (+340) is a solid option for the chance to more than triple up.
Fulham was unbeaten in 7 matches before losing to Brentford last time out. Arsenal has been superb this season, but it enters a little dinged up. The Gunners will do well to grab a draw and a point to remain atop the EPL table.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (+110) is worth a roll of the dice. While Arsenal is averaging more than 2 goals per match, Fulham’s defense has been adequate. It is conceding just over 1.3 goals per match, and will make life difficult for Arsenal. If this match were at Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal was a little healthier, I’d lean the other way.
