Fulham prepare to entertain Arsenal at Craven Cottage at tea-time on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 22 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in August 2008, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premier League match.
