Arsenal take on Fulham in the Premier League tomorrow, and here�s our predicted XI.

Mikel Arteta�s men need to get back to winning ways after our terrible defeat against West Ham United midweek. We�ve now won just one of our last four games, which is simply not good enough. We expect the Arsenal manager to make a couple of changes tomorrow.

Predicted Arsenal XI vs Fulham

Arsenal dropped points against Fulham when the two sides met at the Emirates earlier in the season. We�re sure Arteta will want some revenge for that tomorrow.

We expect David Raya to keep his place in the side, as will the back four that started against West Ham earlier this week � Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Declan Rice will start in midfield, and he will want to bounce back after what was a difficult game for him against his old club midweek.

Further forward, we expect Leandro Trossard to drop out of the side and Kai Havertz to come back in. The �27 million man had a game to forget against West Ham.

Bukayo Saka will obviously keep his place in the side, and although a lot has been said about Gabriel Martinelli�s struggles recently, we expect Arteta to keep his faith in him.

Up front, however, we expect to see a change. Eddie Nketiah should come in for Gabriel Jesus, who has been really poor in front of goal recently.

Arsenal missed Kai Havertz vs West Ham

A ton of people wanted Kai Havertz dropped during his first two months at Arsenal, but in the game against West Ham midweek, you couldn�t help but notice he wasn�t there.

Havertz�s height, linkup play and movement would�ve definitely caused the Hammers a ton of problems, and without him, we struggled.

The German will be back tomorrow and that is a big plus. Fulham will not sit as deep as West Ham did, which means we will have much more space to attack.

We feel Havertz will play a key part tomorrow, and we won�t be surprised if he gets on the score sheet to win us the derby too.
