    Fans at Craven Cottage are optimistic Marco Silva can steer them into Europe for the first time in 13 years.

    Season ticket holder Adam told me he's "very confident the manager won’t be going anywhere" in the summer. "He has a fantastic relationship with the chairman and the fans."

    "He’s loved at Fulham. He’s building something special. I can’t see him wanting to move to another Club unless it’s for a title contending team or Champions League. "

    A huge opportunity this afternoon.

    We have seen Liverpool drop points lately and you have got to do your job.

    It doesn’t matter the way we play, but we've just got to get three points.

    Arsenal have all the motivation they need after Liverpool's midweek draw at Aston Villa.

    Now, can Mikel Arteta's side do their job before Liverpool go to Manchester City tomorrow? A roar of encouragement greets kick-off at the Emirates and the Gunners are quick to start putting passes together in the north London sunshine.

    It is now or never for Arsenal. They looked a little bit clunky last week at Leicester until the late change but they need to find solutions. Today is a must win for them. Let's give everything and at least stay in touch, be within a few points when they play Liverpool at Anfield. There is a glimmer for them and they need to hold on to it.

    With Liverpool dropping four points in their past three games, and the Reds visiting a wounded Manchester City on Sunday, can Arsenal take their opportunity to apply a bit of pressure on Arne Slot's leaders?

    The Gunners can cut the gap at the top of the Premier League to five points with victory over West Ham United this afternoon.

    Mikel Arteta's side won the reverse fixture 5-2 in November as they blew the Hammers away with five first-half goals at London Stadium.

    The Arsenal boss will be hoping for a similarly fast start today with a tough trip to third-place Nottingham Forest to come in midweek, and the rest of the title run-in to prepare for.

  10. 'We need to survive this season'published at 14:57 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    FT: Everton 2-2 Man Utd

    Manchester United

    Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim speaking to TNT Sports on the decision to overturn a penalty for Everton in stoppage time after it was initially given on the field: "I think it was a soft touch from what I saw. I think it was a soft penalty, it was clear."

    On his side's performance: "We need to win three points and we need to win the whole game. The worst part is that we are losing the ball without pressure and we are not doing what we need to do. We were soft."

    On fixing the problems in his side: "In training, we have to continue to do the same. In the second half, we changed nothing. We have to do the same thing but in a good way. We have to improve on creating chances and in this game also we struggle with scoring goals."

    On what he can do to make his side more consistent: "I don't know, if I know, I will change it. Everything we do in the week, we have to do better in the game. In this moment, we need to focus on day by day. We need to survive this season and then we can think ahead. I don't want to just say the negative part. In the second half, we were close to win this game."

  12. 'Anything could happen here'published at 14:56 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Fulham v Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Sport columnist

    I find both these teams impossible to predict so, let's face it, anything could happen here.

    Crystal Palace lost to Everton last week but actually played pretty well.

    I talked about how Fulham have struggled at home recently but then they went and beat Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.

    My instinct tells me to go for a draw but I actually think Fulham will make it back-to-back home wins - so Palace will probably end up taking the points.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-1

  13. 'I can't see anything other than a home win'published at 14:55 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Bournemouth v Wolves (15:00 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Sport columnist

    Wolves ran Liverpool close at Anfield last weekend and Matheus Cunha showed his quality with his wonderful goal that gave them hope in that game.

    That performance should give Vítor Pereira's struggling side real belief and I am expecting them to put up a fight here too, but I just can't back against Bournemouth.

    The way the Cherries attack, with the amount of shots they get on target, makes them hard to stop and I can't see anything other than a home win.

    Andoni Iraola's side are right in the mix for the Champions League places now, and that race is very interesting.

    Liverpool and Arsenal will finish first or second but, after that, there are a few teams in with a chance, especially because fifth place could be enough this season.

    I'm going for Manchester City to finish in my top five, along with Nottingham Forest. On current form, Bournemouth will make it too, which would be an incredible achievement.

    Sutton's prediction: 2-1

  14. 'Convincing win for Arsenal'published at 14:54 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Arsenal v West Ham (15:00 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Sport columnist

    Midfielder Mikel Merino is the main man for Arsenal up front now after two such important late goals against Leicester last week.

    With Liverpool dropping points against Aston Villa on Wednesday, Arsenal have them in their sights and it will be really interesting to see how Gunners boss Mikel Arteta approaches this game.

    If they beat West Ham, Liverpool's lead at the top is down to five points and the Hammers don't seem to be in the kind of form to stop them.

    West Ham have not got going at all under new boss Graham Potter. Like Manchester United, they are not getting relegated, but their fans have not had much to smile about all season.

    Arsenal won 5-2 at London Stadium in November, with all the goals coming in the first half. There won't be quite as many this time, but I still think Arsenal's intensity will see them end up convincing winners.

    Sutton's prediction: 3-0

    The Brazilian forward talks about life in the Premier League, battling relegation and his aspirations on the international scene with Brazil.

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace are aiming to win four successive top-flight away games for the first time.

    Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta is also looking to become the first Palace player to score in four consecutive Premier League away games.

  17. Fulham enjoying Premier League record seasonpublished at 14:51 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Fulham

    Fulham's tally of 39 points is their second highest at this stage of a top-flight campaign, bettered only by the 1959-60 season, when they had 40 points (adjusted to three points for a win).

    Marco Silva's side are aiming to win three Premier League games in a row for the first time since January 2023.

    Graham Potter has had around ten games and he is obviously no where near where he wants to be

    I fully expect him to get West Ham playing his type of football and not only that but getting results from it. I think they will be absolutely fine, just takes time.

    Final Score at Portman Road

    There’s a buoyant feel at Portman Road this afternoon, but that might just be the fact that Five’s ‘Keep on Movin’ has been booming out of the fanzone speakers for the last few minutes.

    In fact every song so far has been a 90s classic, which is great for those us above 30 - not so much for the kids.

    However, I'm sure all Ipswich fans will agree that today is a huge opportunity to keep the pressure on Wolves.

  20. Leaky Wolvespublished at 14:48 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February

    Bournemouth v Wolves (15:00 GMT)

    Wolves

    Wolves have conceded 54 goals from an expected goals against of 41.6 in the Premier League this season, the biggest difference between xG against and goals conceded this term.

    They also have a poor record against sides in the top six in recent times. They have won just one of their past 28 away matches against sides starting the day in the top six (D3, L24), beating fourth-placed Spurs 2-1 in February 2024.
