Fulham was one of only two teams Arsenal failed to beat in the league last season. Marco Silva's side snatched a shock 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium in August before winning the return fixture 2-1 on New Year's Eve.

Both results had a huge impact on the Gunners' title hopes with those four dropped points proving to be crucial in the race for the top prize. Arsenal finished two points off eventual champions Man City meaning a different result in either game against the Cottagers could have changed things entirely.

The Arsenal players will certainly have last season's games in mind when they walk out at Craven Cottage on Sunday. There is no doubt they will be wanting revenge.
