Arsenal blasted past Manchester United with some set-piece bombardment in midweek and Mikel Arteta takes his team's renewed Premier League challenge to west London to take on Fulham this weekend.
As much as Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka's dead-eyed corner deliveries took the headlines and invited amusing comparisons to Stoke City, captain Martin Odegaard's return from an ankle injury has been the main factor to suggest the Gunners can overhaul a Liverpool lead that stands at seven points after 14 matches.
The pack behind Arsenal is heavily compressed and Fulham vaulted themselves into the top six courtesy of a 3-1 win over Brighton last time out, with former Gunners winger Alex Iwobi scoring twice.
Marco Silva's side were a hindrance to Arsenal's title ambitions last season, following up a 2-2 early season draw at Emirates Stadium with a damaging 2-1 success at Craven Cottage on New Year's Eve.

Emile Smith Rowe adds to the Cottagers' Arsenal connections alongside Alex Iwobi.
Harrison Reed (knee) and Joachim Andersen (calf) remain out, although Silva might be able to bolster his bench with the returns of Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon if the duo come through late checks.
