Fulham vs Arsenal - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Gunners denied opening goal by VAR

Sessegnon's long throw is cleared and Arsenal break. They then win a corner off Jimenez.

In again - Leno gathers and drops it, but Wilson eventually heads away., and Rice's cross drifts out of play.

The England midfield then swings one wide to end the half.

There's the whistle. What an absolute bore of a first half.

Diop is going to have to get up to speed quickly with this. Losing Andersen is a blow for Fulham.

Cuenca heads behind to give Arsenal another corner. Saka to take...

Leno punches it away but Arsenal recycle possession. Now a break in play after Wilson takes one to the face from point blank range.

Six minutes added on.

Three players are now getting treatment. Josh King is having a concussion check, Joachim Andersen has done his calf I think - he is replaced by Issa Diop - and Tom Cairney is still having his back rubbed.

An early change for Fulham, then.

Finally the defence is breached somewhat - Saka feeds Gyokeres and the forward shoots from a tough angle and it's saved easily enough by Leno.

Calafiori then shins one over the bar. He is such a threat.

Saka wins a corner as Jimenez comes back to defend.

Saka's corner is poor but the second cross finds Gabriel. Fulham defend well enough, though, and we now have a blow to the head, so the game is paused.

It's King, who received a slap from his own team-mate in Jimenez.

Tom Cairney is down holding his back/neck and receives some treatment, but is fine to carry on.

Good block from Andersen to deny Calafiori. Arsenal really are struggling to find a way through here.

A corner for the Gunners. Ends with Eze's shot being blocked. Weird they didn't put that into the box.

Ball over for Saka is cut out by Cuenca, who has been playing well in these early minutes.

Calafiori's cross is then cut out, and Timber's ball back in is poor. Fulham are not making this easy for Arsenal.

King's cross nearly goes in! He didn't mean it, but the 18-year-old forces Raya to slap over his own bar and wins his side a corner. It ends with Sessegnon volleying wide.

Oh that is very nice from Fulham! Wilson is causing all sorts of issues,

Iwobi finds him in a nice little pocket of space on the right and he wastes no time cutting inside and shooting. At the risk of sounding like Michael Owen, if it's in the corner, it's in. But he drags it wide!

Josh King goes on a nice little run and forces Declan Rice to head behind, winning a corner.

Wilson takes, and it goes out for another. Nothing comes of that one.

Arsenal are settling more and more here. Leno has to gather a high ball.

GOALLLLL! Oh - nope, nope. Pause.

I thought Calafiori had given Arsenal the lead with a banger but the flag is up and it's the correct decision.

Timber goes long and finds Trossard, who gives it to Calafiori first time. The Italian sweeps it into the top corner, but the flag is up.

Harry Wilson comes forward and earns his side a corner. Arsenal are almost done at their own game - a set piece routine sees Cairney pick up the ball on the edge of the box and shoot, but Zubimendi blocks. May have been going wide anyway.

Berge then plays in the Welshman and he looks to place it, but it's wide.

Encouraging for the hosts!

Trossard slices the ball out of play before a free kick threatens to provide Arsenal with an opportunity but doesn't quite.

Rice then plays Gyokeres in but no one is there to meet his pull back.

Just wanted to share this stat pack from out friends at Squawka ahead of today, too. Really good detail.

Fulham are on the ball early here but Arsenal are pressing high and force Cuenca to play the ball out.

Gabriel heads away Iwobi's cross - one of two former Arsenal men in the Fulham team today, along with Bernd Leno.

Gyokeres then tries to get on the end of a long ball, but Leno gathers.

A steady start to this London derby.

After Bukayo Saka and Tom Cairney take part in the coin toss, the hosts get us underway.

It's never easy going away from home, but Arsenal will feel as confident as they ever have here today.

Let's see what the game brings!

Right then! The teams are on their ways out at Craven Cottage.

How we feeling, Arsenal fans? You are no longer top... but a win will take you there again!

As you may or may not have seen, Ange Postecoglou was sacked earlier today - just 19 minutes after his side lost against Chelsea.

One man linked with the job is Marco Silva. Weird, right?

He was as short as 4/1 earlier on with some betting sites. I'm sure he'll stay with Fulham, but his name does keep cropping up.

Jamie Redknapp, former Liverpool midfielder, Sky Sports:

The Arsenal players are out getting warm here at Craven Cottage. Good job, too - I make it around 15 degrees Celcius, but, according to my trusty weather app, it feels like 12.

The warm up kit is not as snazzy as the tracksuit, I must say.

I was about to write a post saying that Arsenal had lost their place at the top of the Premier League, but Crystal Palace's last-minute equaliser against Bournemouth means the Cherries do not go top!

Here's a full breakdown of today's results so far:

Here is what our friends at SkyBet say about the odds for today's game:

Very convincing...

Arsenal's players are in the house. Snazzy tracksuits. Jheez, I sound like my grandad.

This is a team on a mission and it does indeed seem a little bit different from last season.

Arsenal have a really good run of fixtures coming up, too.

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal manager:

Marco Silva, Fulham manager:

The Gunners have not looked back since defeat by Liverpool at the end of August. While Arne Slot's men have stumbled, Mikel Arteta's have won nearly every game since and now top the Premier League.

Last time out, they had an easy win as you can ask for as they beat West Ham 2-0, having also got the better of Newcastle in the game before that.

Is this their year? Just maybe.

It was defeat last time out for Fulham, who have had the most average of average starts this season: two wins, two draws, three defeats from seven games.

I was actually at the game, and they were alright against Bournemouth, going 1-0 up in the second half before proper collapsing.

Not an idea result and, if they want to challenge for Europe in some way this season, they will want to pick up quickly.

Today is proper the worst fixture they could have in their bid to do that.

And here's the Arsenal side!

It's Zubimendi who comes in for the injured Odegaard, with Eze playing in a central role and tasked with those creative duties.

The front three is Saka, Trossard, and Gyokeres.

Here's the team Marco Silva has put out for this evening.

Jimenez returns up front, which is huge news for the team after they went striker-less versus Bournemouth.

Cuenca also comes into the defence in what looks like will be a back four this time around.

Hello all! Welcome to Daily Mail Sport's coverage of Fulham vs Arsenal in the Premier League this evening.

It's been a mental day so far, with Chelsea thrashing Nottingham Forest and Ange Postecoglou losing his job.

But we are here to focus on tonight, so we will look at that with a bit of a wrap up of today's events to come later on.

But no time to waste! Team news is in.
