MATCH FACTS: FULHAM V ARSENAL

HEAD TO HEAD:

Three of the last five meetings between the two clubs have ended in a draw.

Fulham have won just three of 24 Premier League matches against the Gunners; all three of those wins have come at Craven Cottage.

Arsenal have won on eight of their 12 trips to Craven Cottage since Fulham were promoted to the Premier League.

There have been four red cards in the last three Premier League fixtures between the teams at Fulham.


FULHAM

Fulham have lost their last four home matches dating back to last season, including April's 1-0 defeat to the Gunners. They were beaten nine times at Craven Cottage during the 2012-13 campaign - the equal-most home defeats in last season's Premier League.

The last time Fulham started a campaign with back-to-back victories was their 2000-01 promotion-winning season when they won their opening 11 fixtures.

Darren Bent has scored six goals in his last eight Premier League games against Arsenal.

Martin Jol's men have scored six of their last eight goals in the second half of matches.


ARSENAL

Arsenal took 19 points in London derbies last season, more than any club from the capital. Victory would see them become the first club to register 100 London derby wins in the Premier League.

Only Manchester City (34) conceded fewer goals than the Gunners (37) last season.

All 12 of Olivier Giroud's 12 Premier League goals have been scored in London (11 at the Emirates Stadium).

The Gunners have been given more Premier League red cards since the start of last season than any other side (six).
