Arsenal continues its Premier League campaign when the side travels to Craven Cottage facing off against Fulham.
Recently a ground where Arsenal would score three goals for fun, last season's loss to the Cottagers on New Year's Eve felt like a massive blow in the title race. If not for the loss, or even the two points dropped at the Emirates Stadium beforehand in August, perhaps the season ends with Mikel Arteta holding the Premier League trophy.
The Gunners, coming in after defeating rival Manchester United, will be motivated to right their wrongs from last season. Fulham though will feel just as motivated given not only last year's results, but how well it's started this season. Marco Silva's team is currently sixth in the league on 22 points, six behind its visitor.
Here's how Arsenal could line up come Sunday's game against Fulham.
