Arsenal make the short trip to Fulham today, hoping to end 2023 at the summit of the Premier League.
The Gunners fell to a surprise defeat at home to West Ham last time out, with Mikel Arteta's side sloppy at the back and wasteful in front of goal, and it means they are now two points off Liverpool at the top of the table.
