Premier League result: Gabriel, Odegaard and Martinelli send Arsenal five points clear with dominant win against Fulham at Craven Cottage

Saka capitalises on an error on the right flank and crosses for Martinelli, who misses his kick trying to stride into a first-time strike towards the far corner.

Arsenal have won 22 times and only been beaten on four occasions in 31 PL encounters with Fulham.

All of those victories for the Whites have come at Craven Cottage, but they have not won a top-flight clash with the Gunners since 2012 (D2,L7).

Arsenal get us underway.

Manor Solomon is bidding to become the first Fulham player to net in five Premier League games in a row.

The 23-year-old Israel international has actually notched in each of his last five Cottagers outings in all competitions.

Bernd Leno on a 'special' clash with the Gunners.

“The energy is really high, it’s a really good energy. I think that’s why the team is where it is, and we’re probably going to keep going this way. The team’s going to keep flying high.”

"They have been really consistent, playing good football, adapting really well and reacting well when they don't achieve a good result - straightaway comes the reaction.

"A good example was after the defeats against (Manchester) City at home and Everton, two bad results but straightaway after they reacted well and won some important games."

“It will be an interesting game, when we played them at the Emirates it was a really tough game, one we could have come away from with something, but we didn’t.

"We want to get something out of this game. We understand they’re very good and they’ve got some really good individual players, but I feel like, in our stadium, with our fans, we can cause an upset. You always want to put yourself up against the best and, at the moment, they are the best."

"He's a huge player for us. He's changed our dynamic, he's changed our belief, he's put the team in a different status... so it's great to have him back."

"It's true that [defending set-pieces] is something that we must improve massively if we want to keep winning games. When you concede two poor goals like we did away from home in Europe it's very difficult to get a positive result. We gave too many simple balls away. We didn't defend well enough, and we have to do better up against our opponents."

Marco Silva opts for a couple of alterations to the team that lost a five-goal thriller to Brentford last time out.

Tosin Adarabioyo is back at the heart of the defence with Bobby De Cordova-Reid also getting the nod to start.

The Gunners make five changes to the team that were held to a 2-2 draw at Sporting Lisbon in Europe on Thursday night.

Aaron Ramsdale returns between the sticks while Thomas Partey, Gabriel, Martin Odegaard and Leandro Trossard also come in.

Additionally, Mikel Arteta is boosted by the presence of Gabriel Jesus on the bench following a lengthy spell out injured.
