Fulham striker David Healy admits nobody gives the Cottagers much chance against Arsenal in this weekend's Premier League opener.

"There will be a lot of pressure because we're going to the Emirates to take on Arsenal and nobody will give us a prayer of getting a result." Quotes of the week

The Cottagers face a daunting trip to Emirates Stadium on Sunday as Lawrie Sanchez's new-look side get their campaign underway.

Arsenal are expected to brush aside Fulham, but summer signing Healy believes the pressure is off them for the trip to North London.

Massive

"It is a massive opener for us on Sunday," Healy told the club's official website.

"There will be a lot of pressure because we're going to the Emirates to take on Arsenal and nobody will give us a prayer of getting a result.

"Hopefully we can take that and turn it to our advantage and come away with a result.

"The good thing is we are all where we want to be in terms of fitness for the season, and everybody is looking forward to this first big challenge."
