ARSENAL are all set to participate in a second successive Premier League London derby against Fulham – and they’ll be hoping it goes better than the first.
After seeing Aston Villa slip up at Old Trafford and Liverpool beat Burnley, three points for the Gunners on Thursday would have been enough to take them back to the top.

However, goals from Tomas Soucek and Dinos Mavropanos saw West Ham deliver a huge blow to their title aspirations.
And it also meant that Mikel Arteta’s men are now two points adrift of league leaders Liverpool who host Newcastle on New Year’s Day.
But they’ll be expected to bounce back against Fulham side who have conceded EIGHT goals in their last three Prem matches without scoring any.
