A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Arsenal will want to return to winning ways when they host Fulham while the Cottagers will be seeking for their first ever derby win at Arsenal.
Last weekend The Gunners were beaten by Manchester United 2-1 while in midweek they could only managed a 2-2 draw after they threw away a two goal lead in that match against Schalke in the Champions League.
Arsenal now finds themselves in 7th position in the Premiership after losing three of their last five league games and will be keen to get all three points on home soil against Fulham.
Arsene Wenger's side do have a good record against Fulham as the visitors have never won away at Arsenal in any competition, losing 22 and drawing four of 26 visits!
However, Martin Jol's men enjoyed a landmark win at Craven Cottage last season when they beat the Gunners 2-1 in their first Premier League success over the North Londoners and will now be seeking to record a another win over Arsenal today.
Fulham enters this match knowing that a win will lift them above Arsenal in the standings, with Martin Jol's side level on 15 points with Wenger's side but a place behind in eighth separated by goal difference.
It should be noted that Fulham are unbeaten in their last four games, managing a win once in that run, with their last match at home against Everton finising 2-2 when Steve Sidwell managed a last minute equaliser.
