Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from midweek defeat and finish 2023 on a high note when they travel to Craven Cottage to face London rivals Fulham on New Year's Eve.
The Gunners held Liverpool to a credible draw at Anfield to stay atop on Christmas, but fell to a surprise 2-0 defeat to West Ham last time out, with Mikel Arteta's side sluggish at the back and profligate in front of goal on the day.
It means they have already ceded their table-toppers place, and are now two points off Liverpool at the top of the table, but they can still end the year at the summit if they can win at Craven Cottage, with Liverpool not playing until New Year's Day when they face Newcastle.
Fulham, meanwhile, come into Sunday's clash on the back of a three-game losing run, while a surprise 2-0 defeat to Burnley last time out at home ended a three-game winning streak at Craven Cottage.
Their five-goal starrer performances in early December are now a distant memory, Marco Silva's side have now fired blanks in their last three top-flight meetings against Newcastle, Burnley and Bournemouth.
