Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's Premier League London derby against Fulham.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could once again be without three central attacking options for Sunday's Premier League clash with London rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage.

All of Gabriel Jesus (knee), Leandro Trossard (groin) and Eddie Nketiah (ankle) missed Thursday's Europa League draw with Sporting Lisbon alongside Mohamed Elneny, who is out for the rest of the season following knee surgery.

While none of Jesus, Trossard or Nketiah has been ruled out just yet, Gabriel Martinelli may be required at the tip of the attack again, with Jesus in the final stages of his recovery but sure to make the bench at best if he is passed fit.

Bournemouth hero Reiss Nelson got the nod over Emile Smith Rowe on Thursday and may have done enough to hold his place here, while Bukayo Saka is a shoo-in on the right.

Martin Odegaard missed the draw with Sporting through illness, allowing Fabio Vieira to stake his claim for regular minutes, but the Norwegian skipper should fight off his affliction to return to the first XI this weekend.

Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey should accompany Odegaard in a first-choice midfield, while Kieran Tierney has also been struck down with a virus recently, but Oleksandr Zinchenko would be unlikely to cede his place either way.

William Saliba and Ben White are at no risk of being demoted, but Matt Turner and Jakub Kiwior failed to cover themselves in glory for Sporting's first goal on Thursday, and the pair will now make way for Aaron Ramsdale and Gabriel Magalhaes.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Martinelli, Nelson
