Crystal Palace have won three consecutive league matches against Fulham for the first time since October 1930. The Eagles have only recorded four straight wins against a particular opponent three times during the Premier League era.

One of Crystal Palace or Fulham were relegated in all three of the previous seasons that the clubs were in the top flight together: Palace in 2004-05, and Fulham in 2013-14 and 2018-19.

The Cottagers are without a win in their last 20 Premier League London derbies (D3, L17).

Fulham have got momentum. Other teams are dropping points and they should be high on confidence. This is a really good opportunity and they can have every belief they can put the pressure on others.

Jayden Bogle and Chris Basham are the latest Sheffield United players to suffer injuries.

The pair have been ruled out for the next few weeks and join John Egan, Jack O'Connell, Sander Berge, Jack Robinson and Lys Mousset on the sidelines.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is not expected to be fit until at least April following groin surgery.

Fit-again forward Diogo Jota could be involved, while Fabinho and James Milner return to training on Saturday,

A decision on goalkeeper Alisson's availability is yet to be made after his father passed away earlier this week.

Manchester City toyed with Arsenal last weekend and took it easy towards the end of their 1-0 win, which made the game look closer than it was.

Leicester, meanwhile, were impressive against Aston Villa. Their front three of James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Jamie Vardy all looked really sharp, and I don't think the Gunners will be able to handle them.

Arsenal are stuck in mid-table and this game might show what they are missing from what it takes to get in the top four.

Leicester play on the front foot and they are solid, have plenty of attacking spark and take their chances - the days where you might say they rely on Vardy to score his trademark breakaway goals are long gone.

Prediction: 2-1

Lawro's full predictions v Dot Major from electro-pop band London Grammar

West Brom's victory over Brighton yesterday had everything - drama, VAR controversy, confusion, missed penalties, a goal and a whole lot of post-match chat.

Gary Lineker said he has "never seen anything like" the chaotic few minutes when Lewis Dunk's free-kick for Brighton was disallowed, then allowed, then eventually ruled out for good following a VAR check.

Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed he has no fresh injury concerns.

The only absentee is centre-back Thiago Silva, who has returned to light training after a thigh strain.

Manchester United could be short of midfield options with Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek and Daniel James all doubts, while Paul Pogba and Juan Mata have both been ruled out.

Edinson Cavani's ongoing ankle problem will be assessed.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has praised Bruno Fernandes' "outstanding" form for Manchester United and revealed he tried to sign him when he was boss at Paris St-Germain.

Tuchel says he was originally made aware of Fernandes by ex-PSG sporting director Antero Henrique.

"We tried to make it happen," said Tuchel, who was at PSG from 2018-20.

"It was when we just arrived. My first sporting director in Paris knew [Fernandes] very well. We watched more and more games about him. We fought hard to have a connection to him and to bring him to our team.

"We tried and he went another way. It is bad for us that we have to play against him."

Today's match will be broadcast live on BBC One, the BBC Sport website and iPlayer. Just click the icon at the top of this page at kick-off if you're watching online.

Judith Taylor: As a Man U fan and given league positions, it will be strange wanting Arsenal to win. At least I won't have to find a different scarf.

David G: Like most Arsenal fans, I'm wondering what's happening with Martinelli. With Saka getting a well earned rest, surely this was a great opportunity for the young Brazilian.

Joe Wedgewood: Errr, that Arsenal XI. No Auba, no Odegaard and no Saka?!

Tottenham's Serge Aurier could feature after five games out but Giovani Lo Celso faces several more weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

The likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, who were rested for the midweek Europa League game, are set to play.

Burnley's Ashley Barnes is ruled out with a thigh injury but Robbie Brady could return.

Erik Pieters, Chris Wood and Dale Stephens are also in contention and will be given fitness tests.

Kevin probably loved the team news...

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell on BBC Radio 5 Live: Bukayo Saka is the jewel in the crown, 19 years old and he’s carrying all the experienced players, carrying the football cub and he’s the one player they can’t afford to drop. I think he’s fatigued, he ended up playing right back in the Europa League and he delivered that cross for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang. He's an impressive young man, talented, quiet but gets the job done.

Wherever he plays, he can play four or five positions on the football pitch and he’s just as good in any of those positions, so he’s an incredible talent. But it just shows that Arsenal, having a 19 year old carrying them, they haven’t been as consistent as they need to be to move the club forward at the moment.

Here's how things stand down at the bottom. Sheffield United are in 'must-win' territory every week now but find themselves coming up against Liverpool in the late kick-off. Can they get anything from it?

Fulham, however, could move to within a point of Newcastle and safety with a win over Crystal Palace in the lunch-time kick-off. Palace themselves are currently 10 points ahead of Fulham in 13th place.
