This Saturday London rivals, Fulham and Arsenal will fight it out at Craven Cottage to see who will claim victory.

Fulham aim to continue their recent good form against the side, as they defeated the reds in the same fixture last year and later achieved a draw in February 2009, at the Emirates.

Wenger’s team believes that his side will be more clinical in this bout, especially because of Fulham’s recent poor form.

Andrey Arshavin should see a return for the match to Arsenal with hopes for Robin Van Persie to pass a fitness test for the game. Theo Walcott is still not up to match fitness after his back problems but could still feature at some point during the match. Arsenal will be without goal keeper Manuel Almunia, due to a chest infection.

Mark Schwarzer could return in goal for Fulham, in addition to Andy Johnson, Booby Zamora and Brede Hangeland who are also expected to play after missing the 2-1 defeat to Man City last week in the Carling Cup game.

Fulham’s latest signing, Jonathan Greening, said of the forthcoming clash. “It’s a London derby, so that gives added spice, but it’s a big game anyway, and live on telly as well. It will be a great atmosphere and after our disappointing performance against Wolves, it’s an opportunity for us to put things right against a top quality side”.

online football betting odds show that Fulham are 13/2 with William Hill whilst Arsenal is 8/13 with Betfred. A draw is 3/1 with Betfair.

This week sees England play Croatia and after a win on Saturday it seems hopeful that the game on Wednesday should be an easy win for England.

England appear to be playing better as a team overall but there are still some concerns amongst the fans! It seems that the fact England have failed yet again to maintain a clean sheet will affect future scores as well as Johnsons defending which has been lacking in recent games. In addition, it seems that Rooney has been left on his own whilst Fabio Capello chops and changes his mind as to who will support him upfront, swapping between Heskey and Defoe.

Jermain Defoe has had some fantastic games recently and it seems that fans feel he is not being awarded the credit he deserves and this was shown in the last game on Saturday which saw him start on the bench but then when bought on he scored the decisive goal of the match with ease.

Sky Bet are offering lots of great odds on the football this season including this game. They are paying out at 5/4 that Defoe will start on Wednesday but if he is left on the bench once again, you can still get odds of 11/2 that he will be put on within the 90 minutes and score at 11/2.

Regarding odds on goals throughout the game, Sky Bet are paying out at 11/8 for Defoe to score within the 90 minutes and for a penalty to be given and scored at 3/1. There are also odds of 9/4 that David Beckham will start which always increases the chances of a goal!

It should be a successful win for England with odds of 8/13 that we beat Croatia!
