Fulham prepare to entertain Arsenal at Craven Cottage at tea-time on Saturday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 28.57 of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in January 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Premier League match.

Recent respective form guides
Fulham's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Cottagers have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Cottagers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Gunners come away with an easy victory. Away win
