Fulham against Arsenal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Arsenal get things under way at a packed Loftus Road

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...

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