History of the Arsenal v Fulham fixture

Fulham face a trip to Arsenal at Highbury on Sunday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The Cottagers have lost on no less than 16 of the 17 visits.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2003, the Gunners carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
