A London derby on Saturday sees Arsenal and Fulham do battle at the Emirates Stadium; The Gunners will be keen to keep pressure on the sides above them in the quest for Europe, whilst the visitors will want to avoid being sucked into a relegation scrap.

Arsenal have put a slow start to the season thoroughly behind them, and are in a good run of form. A 2-1 away win over Norwich last weekend sees the north London outfit just three points from the top four in what is set to be a tight race for Champions League football. Arsene Wenger’s men secured a place in the Champions League knockout rounds on Wednesday night with a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. On-form striker Robin van Persie scored both goals and will be keen to add to his goal tally on Saturday – he is currently the top scorer in the top flight. Bwin have The Gunners as favourites at odds of 1.40.

Fulham have had a sluggish start to the campaign, and sit in 16th place ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, only two points above the drop zone. Ex-Spurs manager Martin Jol will be motivated to get a result at the Emirates, and will not be satisfied with his team’s two solitary wins from 12 games so far this campaign. The Cottagers drew 0-0 with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light last time out, and despite being relatively solid at the back this season need to start to score more goals. Bwin has the away team as outsiders at odds of 8.00 for a win.

Arsenal will be full of confidence going into the game, and should keep their solid run of form going in this one. My Premier League football betting tip is a 1-0 win to Arsenal, which Bwin put at odds of 8.00.
