Team in v Arsenal

[Friendsoffulham]

Your Team to face Arsenal today is as follows



#ffc #ARSFUL

No Willian involvement?

[Pock]

The best he could do in the circumstances. Few surprises in the Arsenal team. Arteta being g a bit experimental? Might give us a chance

[Lighthouse]

Personally would have Adama and not Wilson. So hopefully Wilson can make the difference.

But lots of good things with players coming back from injury. Lukic and Palhina starting for one of the few time together.

Well let's hope for injury free and no poor referee decisions and no sendings off for coughing inappropriately or whatever the latest stupid rule is.

Good luck and may it not be too painful.

[Tabby]

Tosin back on the bench.

[Blawarmy]

Willian?

[SerbianLad]

Is Willian injured?

I'm worried that that attack lacks pace. Neither one of BDR/Wilson is particularly fast. With Willian out, perhaps Adama should have started.

Reed/Lukic was always a 50/50 call, Reed was brilliant with Palhinha and Andreas last season, but Lukic performed better so far this season,so there were arguments for both, but Palhinha clearly had to come in. I'm interested to see how Lukic/Palhinha/Andres midfield will look.

Tosin on the bench is really interesting 👀

Willian ??, not fit or Saudi bound.
Our attack without Mitro and Willian is not really going to bother Arsenal.
Looking like another blank Fulham scoresheet.

Willian was a doubt heading into today.

Marco Silva is previewing Arsenal away.

Team news: "No different news from last week". A slight doubt on Willian, Joao trained the whole week with the team. #FFC

[Fulham 442]

No Willian? Maybe he's on his toes as well?! Very surprised to see Tosin on the bench though.

[Whitestone]

Do people just not bother to listen to Marco ? He made it quite clear in his press conference that Willian was a doubt.

[SerbianLad]

Also BDR captains the side. Is it the first time he's captaining Fulham?

Dunno- I'd be shocked to get anything from this today but I watched the last bits of Arsenal v Forest. Elanga's pace absolutely tore Arsenal's defence to pieces. I'd have Adama on as early as possible...fleeting chance but it's there

[SP]

Marco seems seriously p*ssed off?

Will be interesting for sure. I fear Lukic will give a penalty when he tackles several seconds too late

[Sting of the North]

Marco seems seriously p*ssed off?

Based on what?

[Nero]

Hmm Just saw on Sky Sports Silva was wearing a grey Jumper not a black one, must be a message to the broad hes not happy. Thats how this works isnt it

[Al-Fayed]

Didn't realise this, but we have never won away to Arsenal. Ever. So, I'll take a draw.

[H4usuallysitting]

Yep, Tosin on the bench.... he's fallen out with Willian - the bench is only big enough for one of them.... Willian didn't want to start against Arsenal, I blame the Khan's....only one of the above is correct
