A number of former Arsenal players could turn out for Fulham on Sunday afternoon with all of them potentially making a difference.

Hale End graduates Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi are both likely to start in midfield and are both in form so could cause the Gunners some serious problems. Ex-Arsenal shot stopper Bernd Leno may also prove to be a tough force to beat in the Cottagers' goal.

Current loanee Reiss Nelson will be watching from the sidelines due to injury and being ineligible to play against his parent club. He may very well be torn over which side to support.

All three players are likely to cause problems for Arsenal, which is something Mikel Arteta will have ensured his side are fully aware of. Smith Rowe and Iwobi could be two men the Gunners look to target on Sunday.
