Fulham got anyone we need to worry about? They likely to cause us any problems by sitting deep?

Have Fulham got anyone who isn't an utter pussy and won't be grovelling on the pitch at the start of the match?
Because we don't.
I'll support Fulham for this match if just one of their players stands up.
Für eure Sicherheit
Actually, thinking about it, I reckon we might go Willian over Pepe?
I can see Pepe really coming into his own once we have Gabriel in the side, hitting those long, cross-field passes, and have an extra man in midfield for him to play off, but we might need the extra creativity from Willian if we go 343 against a weaker side again. Hmmm..,
Match day.
Quite excited, doubt it'll last though.
Seen a few people float the idea that we might go with a back 4 today with Gabriel and Holding at CB - how would we feel about that? Is Gabriel ready? Is Holding strong enough at covering space?
The extra man in midfield would certainly be useful, if Fulham decide to sit deep.
I guess we have the options there to quickly change from 2 CBs to 3 CBs (and visa versa), so we could just see what kind of game it’s gonna be and then switch if we need to?

Last season was such a long drag it’s quite nice to be starting from a clean slate.
It’s Arsenal away from home though, so a disaster is never out of the question.
