Arsenal vs Fulham


Arsenal will be determined to bounce back from Saturday's humiliating loss to Liverpool, as they welcome Fulham to the Emirates on Tuesday afternoon.

The Gunners were battered at Anfield; despite taking the lead on Merseyside, but they have a fantastic opportunity to bounce back immediately as they take on Fulham.

Fulham got themselves a rare win against relegation rivals Huddersfield Town thanks to a late Aleksandr Mitrovic strike.

These sides met earlier in the season and Arsenal were rampant at Craven Cottage - winning 5-1.

 

Team News

Arsenal will assess the fitness of Mesut Ozil, with the German missing the defeat at Liverpool with a knee injury.

Nacho Monreal is battling a hamstring injury, while long-term absentees include Rob Holding, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Danny Welbeck.

Fulham defender Alfie Mawson looks set to be out for a lengthy period of time after being taken off in their win over Huddersfield on Saturday.

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa could make a return from an ankle problem for the visitors.

 

The Managers

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery: "We need to keep the balance in the middle, be serious and continue on Tuesday with a big match at the Emirates. We need to show our supporters there we are standing up after the result (versus Liverpool)."

Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri: "Unai Emery is working well and it will be another tough match for us. I've come across him before. Maybe I played against him when he was at Paris St. Germain. He's an intelligent and experienced coach."
