Fulham vs Arsenal Live Stream: Watch Free Online English Premier League Game From Craven Cottage

Aug 24, 2013 07:01 AM EDT

Arsenal will look to bounce back from their disappointing opening game against Aston Villa, but come up against a dangerous Fulham side at Craven Cottage in their English Premier League game Saturday.

Arsene Wenger will be under tremendous pressure to come away with a positive result, and the players will look towards the impressive 3-0 win Fenerbahce to instil some confidence in the side.

Arsenal will be without Thomas Vermaelen, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Abou Diaby, while Laurent Koscielny, who picked up a nasty head injury against Fenerbahce, is injured.

"He's like a boxer who had a hard fight the night before, lots of blood around his eye and a deep cut," Wenger said of Koscielny, who was kicked in the head by Pierre Webo. "He is suspended for Saturday anyway but let's hope he recovers for next Tuesday (against Fenerbahce). It will be short because the cut is very deep. Hopefully it will be alright.

"(Otherwise) the news is quite positive at the moment. Of course we have some players who I will need to consider because of the accumulation of the international game and then the Premier League and Champions League matches. I will have to make a deeper analysis later."

Fulham will be without Maarten Stekelenburg and Kieran Richardson, but Martin Jol is likely to give debuts to new signings Darren Bent and Scott Parker.

"I saw them against Fenerbahce and there was no problem at all," Fulham manager Martin Jol said. "I played in Turkey a couple of times and it's almost impossible to have a win over there and they did, quite convincingly.

"They played with confidence, they were very sound at the back, in midfield they were very creative, they had pace up front and with their chances they could have scored more goals. I'm not sure if they've got a problem.

"I think many teams know what to expect of Arsenal; they still win 80 per cent of their away games, they have a very good record away from home. So, it's about their qualities and we'll try to restrict them and play our own game as well. Our intentions are to do that."
