Marco Silva will be without three of his Fulham stars for their Premier League clash with Arsenal this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Cottagers make the short trip across the capital for what is another must-win game for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have moved three points clear at the summit again with Manchester City involved in FA Cup action last weekend.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side do not play Everton until Monday night, giving Arsenal the chance to move six points clear tomorrow. <\/p>\n

One former Arsenal star will not be involved against his old side. Alex Iwobi was forced off before half-time in the goalless draw with Brentford two weeks ago after pulling up with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

It ruled him out of last weekend\u2019s victory over Aston Villa with Silva confirming the Nigeria international remains sidelined.<\/p>\n

Ryan Sessegnon scored the winner in that game against Unai Eemry\u2019s side before he was forced off late on. The knock will rule the 25-year-old out of the game at the Emirates and Fulham\u2019s next game against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Summer signing Kevin, who has scored a respectable eight goals in his first season in England, remains sidelined having missed the last seven games with a metatarsal bruise.<\/p>\n

Fulham are likely to have Kenny Tete available again, however.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not good news about him,\u2019 said Silva when asked about Sessegnon.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sessegnon is going to be out of the next game, and probably the one after will be the same story for him, and then we will have to assess him day by day. For the Arsenal game, for sure out. For the game after, for sure out.<\/p>\n

\u2018Alex [Iwobi] is out still, plus Kevin. Kenny [Tete], we will have to see how he reacts from the last two sessions. He can probably be involved in the game.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have some doubts on some players, but we will assess them tomorrow to see how they react from things that happened in the week.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arsenal beat Fulham 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage in October.<\/p>\n
