Marco Silva spoke about what needs to be done to continue a hoodoo for **Arsenal**away at Fulham.
The Gunners are sitting at the top of the table after ending their barren streaks against **Newcastle United**at St. James’ Park and West Ham at the Emirates Stadium. Another dreaded away day awaits the team at Craven Cottage, where they have drawn 1-1 and lost 2-1 in their last two trips.
**Fulham**also held **Arsenal**to a 2-2 draw in the 2023/24 campaign in North London, only suffering narrow 2-1 defeats in their other two trips to the Emirates Stadium since promotion back to the top tier in 2022. It is clear they are a competitive outfit, and they are ready to go to war on Saturday.
“What I can say about Arsenal is that they have a very, very good squad. I think it’s shown in the way they’ve started the season and the way they’ve been playing.
“But the reality is that we have been very tough for Arsenal to play against and we want to show up and show that we are capable of competing, even without five or six players that have been very important for us.”
*“The reality is that before we started getting results against them, the story of Fulham Football Club for probably the last 10 or 15 years was that almost all the games were wins for Arsenal.*
“In the last four games, you see a really competitive side against them. It’s a different moment of the season for us in terms of not having our full capacity, but we want to compete at our best level.
“We don’t want to find excuses. With our fans, we need them definitely at their top level too because in these types of moments, we have to show the togetherness and connection even more.
*“The players are going to need the 12th player at Craven Cottage.”*
