Premier League / Dan Fitch / 21 August 2008 / Leave a Comment

No time to adjust as both sides need points for different reasons.

Saturday's evening kick off sees Arsenal travel to a Fulham side still reeling from their opening away loss to Hull.

Roy Hodgson's men will be desperate to get at least one point on the board, but won't expect much charity from an Arsenal side looking to build on their victory over West Brom.

Fulham are [6.6] to pull off a surprise, with the draw available at [4] and Arsenal [1.65]. But since their promotion in 2001, the Cottagers have won only once in this fixture from 7 attempts.

Arsenal scored within four minutes last week and can be backed at [2.54] to be winning at half time and full time.

On average this fixture has produced 2.7 goals per game and Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 2.14.

The season may have just begun, but Hodgson and Wenger both need a result, if they're not to lose ground on their rivals.
