Fulham vs Arsenal - Team News, Match Preview & Likely Line-Ups

Match Preview

fulham Both of these sides will be in need of the three points as they come together in this weekend's London Derby. Having seen his side trouble Chelsea for vast swathes of Wednesday's encounter with the Blues, manager Martin Jol will have been perturbed to have seen his side crash to a 3-0 defeat. Arsenal meanwhile could jump ahead of the Blues and Tottenham with a win, albeit temporarily, which would go a long way to cementing yet another season of Champions League football for the Gunners. However, Arsene Wenger's men face a stiff task. They haven't beaten Fulham in four attempts now, and have won just three of 13 London derbies away from home. With a top four place at stake, that miserable run will have to end this weekend if Arsenal are to retain any realistic hope of Champions League football next season.

Predicted Scoreline

Fulham 1 - 2 Arsenal I predict Arsenal to get back to winning ways against Fulham and continue their push for the top four. As impressive as Fulham were against Chelsea, they lacked the industry and cutting edge required to beat teams such as these.
