Fulham and Arsenal will see out 2023 together as they meet at Craven Cottage for their final game of the year.

Former Arsenal stopper Bernd Leno starts in goal for Fulham today with Tosin Adarabioyo and Calvin Bassey ahead of him as the centre back pairing.

Timothy Castagne and Antonee Robinson line up as the full backs today with Joao Palhinha and Tom Cairney in midfield.

Another ex-Gunner starts in attacking midfield as Alex Iwobi features behind Raul Jimenez, with Bobby De Cordova-Reid and former Arsenal man Willian on the flanks.

Andreas Pereira is only on the bench, joining Marek Rodak, Kenny Tete, Fode Ballo-Toure, Issa Diop, Sasa Lukic, Harrison Reed, Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz.

Arsenal go with David Raya in goal as they look to bounce back from a fairly dismal 2-0 home defeat to West Ham United.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes continue as the centre backs but Jakub Kiwior comes in at left back for the Gunners today.

Ben White starts at right back and it’s a familiar midfield three of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard.

There is a change up top as Eddie Nketiah comes into the side in place of Gabriel Jesus with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli out wide.

Jesus makes the bench, joining Aaron Ramsdale, Cedric Soares, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jorginho, Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson and Leandro Trossard.
