Arsenal have the prospect to maneuver six points clear on the summit of the Premier League after they tackle Fulham tonight.
Eberechi Eze’s stunning winner was enough to seal an enormous win at home to Newcastle United this time last week at a nervy Emirates while Manchester City were occupied with their FA Cup semi-final.
