Arsenal’s current side isn’t comparable to some of the recent outfits Arsene Wenger has had at his disposal but they still have a squad capable of challenging for Champions League football next season – which is why this fixture comes at an interesting time; Fulham are currently in Champions League contention and are above Arsenal in the table.
Arsenal lost to Manchester United, as we thought they would, but they did manage to score with only ten men on the pitch and didn’t get the credit they deserved for their second half performance for two reasons: Van Persie took the headlines and Andre Santos took his shirt. There was a lot for Arsenal to reflect on positively and we think this weekend will be a time when Arsenal show what they are capable of as a team.
Although we don’t expect Fulham to be able to beat Arsenal at The Emirates, but there could be an upset if Arsenal don’t start strongly. Arsene Wenger’s side have yet to score a goal in the first half an hour of a domestic fixture and if they continue to make slow starts to games they’ll find their opposition more frequently dictating the pace.
Look out for Arsene Wenger’s jacket, which we’re convinced is getting longer.
