Fulham – Arsenal

1. Arsenal travel to Loftus Road to take on Fulham for the penultimate game of their season looking to remain unbeaten. Join us at 16:05 UK time to see if the Gunners can do it!

2. Fulham: Van der Sar, Volz, Goma, Pearce, Bocanegra, Djetou, Malbranque, Inamoto, Davis, Legwinski, Boa Morte. Subs: Crossley, McBride, Hudson, Petta, John.

3. Arsenal: Lehmann, Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Cole, Pires, Vieira, Parlour, Ljungberg, Reyes, Henry. Subs: Stack, Keown, Bergkamp, Clichy, Aliadiere.

4. The champions recall Robert Pires after a couple of indifferent performances have threatened to wreck their dreams of an unbeaten season

5. Fulham took a point from Highbury earlier in the season. Moritz Volz, Luis Boa Morte and Junichi Inamoto - three men who failed to make the grade with the Gunners - will be especially determined to go one better this time...

6. 1'

   Arsenal get things under way at a packed Loftus Road

7. 1'

   Lazy start from Lauren, whose slip almost lets in Boa Morte. Lehmann out well

8. 1'

   The full-back makes immediate amends by charging down the right flank to win his side a corner...

9. 2'

   Reyes kick is cleared, but Parlour's smart ball back in gives Ljungberg a chance. Van der Sar's long leg saves the day

10. 3'

    Arsenal popping it around like champions until Malbranque's crunching tackle breaks things up

11. 4'

    Decent dummy from Lauren leaves Bocanegra on his seat, but Reyes can't get a clean shot away from the cut-back

12. 5'

    It's a lively opening here and Fulham are pressing now. Vieira dumps Davis over - free-kick...

13. 6'

    Djetou gets a free nod at goal from Davis' kick - it's poor, but Lehmann carries it over the byline...

14. 6'

    Better from the German, who comes out commandingly to claim Boa Morte's inswinger

15. 7'

    Twinkle-toed burst from Cole takes him to the byline, but there's no Arsenal player within 10 yards of his centre

16. 8'

    Henry opens up the home defence with a raking 50-yard pass, but the ball narrowly beats Pires to the touchline

17. 9'

    GOAL! Van der Sar was the hero at Highbury earlier in the season, but he's had a nightmare here. The Dutchman dithers for an age on Djetou's back-pass, and Reyes robs him to tap in a second Premiership goal. 1-0 Arsenal!

18. 10'

    Back come Fulham, and Volz's meandering run across the edge of the box draws a foul from Campbell. Chance here...

19. 11'

    Wasted! Henry's worried enough to help Lehmann out by guarding a post, but Malbranque's effort is way too high

20. 12'

    Vieira's been down to the dressing room for treatment on a cracked rib, but he's back in the thick of things again

21. 13'

    Parlour breaks down the right and is halted by a Legwinski tackle. It looked clean, but ref Mike Dean says otherwise...

22. 13'

    Pires' ball in is headed behind, but van der Sar is bundled over from the corner and Fulham can clear

23. 14'

    Boa Morte's pace is giving the Arsenal centre-backs a hard time, but Cole steps in to hack clear

24. 16'

    Volz looks like he wants to prove a point, and it takes an illegal Pires barge to halt his progress down the right

25. 17'

    This time it's Ljungberg sent flying - by a wild Davis lunge. Ref Dean's yellow card finger is twitching, but he keeps his book in his pocket for now...

26. 18'

    Campbell commits himself, allowing Boa Morte a run on goal, but Lehmann stands firm to win the one-on-one. That was a chance

27. 19'

    Lehmann claws out the corner from under his own bar, and shows rare restraint by dusting himself down without a cross word

28. 20'

    Haphazard stuff from Arsenal at the moment as Toure and Parlour give the ball away cheaply in the space of 10 seconds

29. 21'

    Lovely Fulham move inspired by Malbranque, who exchanges passes with Inamoto and bends a 20-yarder into Lehmann's side netting. They're getting closer...

30. 23'

    The champions find their feet after a torrid spell as Pires and Reyes work a promising move down the left

31. 23'

    Arsenal work it out right to Lauren, but his cross is too close to van der Sar

32. 25'

    Back come Fulham, but Legwinski's high ball into the box is claimed by Lehmann - fully 15 yards off his line

33. 25'

    Scrappy spell at the moment - lots of niggly ankle-tapping in midfield

34. 27'

    Volz gets away from a half-hearted Pires challenge but there's no-one on the end of his promising, driven cross

35. 28'

    Arsenal standing off Fulham, and Volz in particular is taking advantage with some strong running down the right

36. 29'

    Loftus Road up in arms as Boa Morte tangles with Toure and Campbell. Replays suggest any contact was accidental, and ref Dean agrees

37. 31'

    Vieira giving an unusually sloppy display - maybe that cracked rib is bothering him

38. 32'

    Cole breaks down the left for Arsenal, and from his cut-back Inamoto hammers a bizarre clearance into his own side-netting. Luckily for him, Henry's corner is poor

39. 34'

    Arsenal find their fluency from nowhere, and work it from left to right and back again as Lauren's cross is headed straight at the keeper by Cole

40. 35'

    Up the other end, and Inamoto tries his luck from the angle of the area. Well struck, but it never looked like beating Lehmann at his near post

41. 36'

    Reyes getting buffeted about by Fulham's centre-backs, but Arsenal still get the ball out to Henry, whose low curler keeps van der Sar honest

42. 37'

    Malbranque darts on to a ricochet and looks clean through, but Campbell gets back strongly to dispossess the Frenchman. The ref had seen a foul in any case

43. 39'

    Parlour spreads play to find Ljungberg in acres, but with Lauren overlapping the Swede goes for glory. And fails miserably with a left-footer

44. 41'

    Cole miscontrol gives Fulham two on one down the right. That one is Pires, who deals with Volz's threat well and clears away

45. 42'

    Back come the home side again, and Malbranque draws a trip from Vieira with a clever turn 30 yards out...

46. 43'

    Davis opts to cross instead of shoot, and Campbell smuggles the ball away under pressure from Djetou

47. 45'

    Arsenal find some energy before the break. Henry sends Cole scampering down the left, but his cross is blocked by Volz at the expense of a corner...

48. 45'

    The Fulham fans are delighted as a second Henry corner of the half drifts harmlessly over everybody. The man himself looks fairly relaxed about it too

49. 45'

    HALF-TIME Strange half. Arsenal started like a house on fire, and finished looking well and truly burnt out

50. 45'

    HALF-TIME Reyes' strike was a gift from van der Sar, and since that point Fulham have been by far the better side. Is the incentive of an unbeaten record enough to lift Arsenal? Find out by sticking here...

51. 46'

    Fulham do the honours, and the second half is under way

52. 46'

    Vieira starts in brighter fashion with a spot of keepy-uppy, but his through-ball catches Henry a yard offside

53. 47'

    Goma takes a chance in letting a high ball bounce twice, and Reyes almost nips it away from him

54. 48'

    Henry looks slightly more interested since the break, and runs 30 yards to receive a Lauren throw-in

55. 49'

    Davis breaks up a decent Arsenal move and frees Boa Morte for a run at Campbell. The England man stands firm though

56. 50'

    Boa Morte loitering on the right wing again, but Inamoto's reverse pass has too much on it

57. 51'

    Bright stuff from Cole, who comes across to cover Volz's burst inside and wins the ball into the bargain

58. 51'

    Inamoto waltzes past Pires' token tackle but is ball in is too high for Davis

59. 52'

    Vieira commits two clumsy fouls in 20 seconds, and out comes the ref's yellow card. It's a chance too - 20 yards out...

60. 53'

    Boa Morte takes a Roberto Carlos-style run at it, but his effort is hardly up to the Brazilian's standards. High and wide

61. 55'

    Ref Dean has had his whistle to his lips almost constantly since the break. This time, it's for an offside against Henry

62. 56'

    Davis works himself enough room for a cross in the Arsenal box. Malbranque makes sweet contact with an attempted overhead kick, but it's too high

63. 57'

    Ljungberg gets the better of Bocanegra down the Fulham left, and his arrowed cross is parried out desperately by van der Sar

64. 58'

    SUBS! Chris Coleman is going for it - strikers McBride and John on for midfielders Inamoto and Djetou

65. 59'

    Goma is the second man in the book as the ref flourishes a yellow for an earlier tug on Reyes

66. 60'

    Reyes gives van der Sar a fright by haring towards him again, but this time the Dutchman is sure-footed

67. 61'

    Up the other end, and Malbranque - who has switched to the right wing - drives in a powerful cross which Lehmann does well to hang on to

68. 62'

    Decent break from Arsenal but it's just not coming off for them at the moment. Vieira picks out Ljungberg with a sweeping crossfield ball, but the Swede misses his control

69. 64'

    Lauren has to battle to get a toe in on Boa Morte. He gets there - but it's a corner...

70. 65'

    Davis comes across to take the kick, but it's straight on Vieira's head at the near post

71. 66'

    Reyes still putting in plenty of hard yards up front for Arsenal, and his nuisance value forces Goma into a poor clearance

72. 67'

    Henry's playing at half pace just now. An uncharacteristically wayward pass denies Reyes a run on goal

73. 68'

    No nonsense stuff from Pearce, who puts an end to a Pires-Cole move down the left by finding Row Z

74. 69'

    Curious bit of play from Henry, who goes through his repertoire in teh centre circle and responds to losing the ball by tripping Volz. Yellow card

75. 70'

    The pitch is playing up and it's more like pinball than football in the Arsenal box as John's shot is blocked

76. 70'

    Up the other end, and Reyes breaks down the right before cutting in to fire a low effort into the side netting

77. 71'

    SUB! That's Reyes' last act of the afternoon too. He's replaced by Aliadiere, who will definitely get a championship medal now

78. 72'

    Fulham forward in numbers, but McBride ignores the runners to go for goal from distance. His bobbling effort is no trouble to Lehmann

79. 73'

    Back they come, though, and it takes a heroic block from Cole to prevent Legwinski's belter heading goalwards. Corner...

80. 74'

    Headed out by Campbell, and Aliadiere stretches his legs by sprinting 60 yards to put pressure on van der Sar's clearance. No problem, though

81. 75'

    Henry comes to life with a dribble past Volz and Goma, and he wins a corner...

82. 75'

    Another poor one from Henry, and Fulham have a break on...

83. 75'

    Out comes Lehmann to act as sweeper. He keeps his cool to find Vieira but bizarrely hangs around in the left-back slot for a return pass!

84. 77'

    Van der Sar's confidence hasn't been dented by his earlier blunder. The onrushing Aliadiere is sold a dummy and the big keeper clears

85. 77'

    The clearance is down the Arsenal left, and almost leads to a leveller. Malbranque steers a pass in for Volz, who rattles a shot inches past the far post

86. 78'

    SUB! Arsene Wenger decides to give Cole a bit of protection. Clichy's on for Pires at left midfield

87. 79'

    Still Fulham press down the right, but this time there's no shooting chance and Arsenal can break...

88. 80'

    Henry feeds Aliadiere, who takes Pearce for a run before returning a pass. Henry's touch is poor though

89. 81'

    Arsenal come in numbers again - there are four of them up there, but neither Ljungberg nor Clichy can get in a shot and the chance goes

90. 82'

    The game's opening up now, and Legwinski clears Lehmann's crossbar with an effort at the other end

91. 83'

    Vieira gives another free-kick away. This one's taken quickly, and John's shot deflects behind for a corner...

92. 83'

    Henry mops it up at the near post and his clearance goes all the way through to van der Sar

93. 84'

    Clichy's added something on the left, and he waltzes all the way through before ruining it by poking a feeble shot at the keeper

94. 85'

    Danger at the other end as Parlour upends Malbranque bang on the edge of the box. He's booked to boot...

95. 86'

    Three Fulham players stand over it, but this isn't one from the training ground. Malbranque opts for the good, honest blast and it hits the wall

96. 87'

    Volz pumps a long ball into the box, where his team-mates are camped out. McBride heads it back across goal, but Malbranque can't force it over the line from four yards out

97. 88'

    SUB! It's Martin Keown time. The veteran stays on course for a medal by replacing the disappointing Ljungberg

98. 89'

    Henry bows down to ref Dean in mock homage after he gets a free-kick for a tug by Davis. the Fulham man kicks the ball away and gets a late booking

99. 90'

    The ref marches the free-kick forward 10 yards - Henry's ears suddenly prick up...

100. 90'

     Decent enough effort from Henry, but van der Sar's tip over was routine

101. 90'

     Henry and Cole opt for a bit of keepball by the corner flag and kill some time by forcing another corner...

102. 90'

     The champions look happy to run down the clock. Aliadiere is robbed in the corner, but Keown steps in

103. 90'

     Aliadiere shoves over Legwinski and Fulham have one last chance to pump a long ball into the box...

104. 90'

     Van der Sar's punt comes off Keown and the keeper's going to lumber up for the corner...

105. 90'

     Lehmann takes it off the top of his opposite number's head and throws it quickly to Henry. His effort at finding the empty net from 70 yards is best forgotten

106. 90'

     FULL-TIME No matter - it's all over. Thirty-seven down, one to go. Only Leicester now stand between Arsenal and immortality

107. 90'

     FULL-TIME They looked very human for long spells here, but van der Sar's error and Reyes' alertness proved enough for a first win in four. Onwards to Highbury...
