Preview: Fulham vs. Arsenal

Fulham take on Arsenal at Craven Cottage for their first home game of the season.

Fulham and Arsenal clash in their respective first London derby of the season on Saturday in the Premier League early kickoff.

The hosts' season began somewhat surprisingly, with Pajtim Kasami heading in the winner in an away win at Sunderland.

Arsenal, however, went down 3-1 at home to Aston Villa and will be looking to bounce back immediately.

Fulham manager Martin Jol has largely a full squad to choose from, although Maarten Stekelenburg and Kieran Richardson look likely to miss out following respective knocks against Sunderland.

Arsene Wenger has a number of injuries to contend with, including Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby, with Laurent Koscielny joining them on the sidelines following his red card against Villa.
