Former Arsenal manager George Graham believes Mikel Arteta's side are favourites to win the Premier League title. The Gunners have won 21 of their 27 fixtures so far this season but face a tough end to the season, with games against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City still to come.
Gabriel Jesus returned from a knee injury in the win at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon - a welcome boost for Arteta, who is now preparing his side for the Europa League round of 16, second-leg clash against Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday. Arsenal could end the season by making history and lifting both a domestic and European trophy.
Leandro Trossard continued his impressive form by grabbing an assist for each of the Gunners' goals against Fulham, with Arteta having plenty of options to choose from in attack following Jesus' return.

City are keeping the pressure on Arsenal but the north London outfit have hurdled every obstacle thrown their way so far this season and made it five wins on the bounce in the Premier League following their victory against the Cottagers.
Arsenal haven't won the Premier League since 2004 but Graham insists that the Gunners are favourites to end their title drought this season. The ex-Arsenal boss told Sky Sports: "The season in general, I think they've been good.
"I think in possession they've been excellent. They probably could improve a little bit without possession, when they're defending, but I think the season has been fantastic.
"Without your main centre-forward, I think some of the performances have been great. It just shows you the quality and the camaraderie in the dressing room."
The latest victory against Fulham on Sunday seriously impressed Graham, especially the opening 45 minutes, in which Arsenal were clearly the dominant team.
He added: "First half I thought they were excellent, second half maybe not so much, but you're not going to dominate for 90 minutes every game. So a good performance and what a result, fantastic."
The Gunners face Sporting on Thursday night before a clash against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend. Following the international break, the Gunners face a difficult run of fixtures that could define their season and see them lift the Premier League title for the first time in 19 years.
