Arsenal - Fulham Preview: Jol's side chase their first ever victory at the Emirates
Arsene Wenger's charges will be looking to put a rotten recent run of form behind them with a return to winning ways on home soil, with improvement needed at both ends of the pitch

Arsene Wenger will be without the suspended Jack Wilshere - after the midfielder's red card against Manchester United last weekend.
Elsewhere for Arsenal, Wojciech Szczesny (foot), Gervinho (ankle) and Lukasz Fabianski (ankle) will all miss the game, with Abou Diaby, Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all long-term absentees.
Midfielder Tomas Rosicky has an outside chance of a place on the substitutes' bench after returning to training following an Achilles injury, but the visit of Fulham could come too soon.
It is much more positive news for Martin Jol, who is just waiting on the fitness of Mahamadou Diarra (knee) ahead of the trip across London. Simon Davies is the only other injury concern for the Cottagers, and is not expected to return before the New Year.

Arsene Wenger will have watched Maroune Fellaini's second goal against Fulham with great interest last weekend, with the giant Belgium international bullying and out-muscling centre-back Aaron Hughes. While not boasting quite the same physical presence, Giroud is no meek forward either and has the ability to threaten the home side's backline.

Tracking Santi Cazorla's runs from deep in midfield will be essential if his side wants to earn a clean sheet, and the Northern Irishman will likely be tasked with a man-marking role on the creative Spaniard.
Martin Jol's side have found it tough to keep clean sheets and holding on to leads recently, yet they face an Arsenal side showing a distinct lack of form in front of goal. The game has the makings of being a cagey affair with two vunerable defences, but the home team's attacking edge could prove the difference.
