As the Premier League enters its decisive phase, Arsenal could receive a timely boost ahead of their clash with Fulham at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night. Bukayo Saka, the club’s talismanic winger, is in line to feature for the first time since December, following his recovery from a hamstring injury that required surgery.

A 2-1 victory over Fulham, sealed by Bukayo Saka’s second-half goal seven minutes after making his long-awaited return from injury, cut the Merseysiders’ lead at the top of the table to nine points, with Mikel Arteta’s side having played one game more.
