Game Introduction
Three weeks ago, this season's English top flight was Liverpool's to lose. Now it's safe managed by the Gunners. This has been somewhat premature considering the season's barely started, but that's current football talk these days. Admittedly, everyone contributes. Therefore will Arsenal solidify their advantage leading the table, facing an opponent who have only defeated them once during previous fourteen matches? Or will they allow position to weaken at a ground where they haven't managed to triumph during their previous two appearances? Fulham would benefit from a good performance, following defeats in their previous two matches prior to the break, so this London derby is set up deliciously. Kick-off is at 5.30pm. The action begins!
