Jol is sure Fulham can get something from the game, but he knows they must find a way to shackle Robin van Persie to stand any chance. The in-form Holland international is in the midst of an incredible scoring run for the Gunners, with 38 goals in 41 matches this year. Jol was quick to praise his compatriot ahead of the game, but believes Fulham can cause an upset in north London. "The priority is to defend well but still play with confidence and belief," Jol said. "I think we have done that in our last three or four away games. "We have kept a clean sheet three times so we have some confidence of doing that [again]. I think we are always capable of creating a few chances. "Of course they have their strengths, but they also have their weaknesses like any other team. "The other night Borussia Dortmund did well against them but Arsenal have the quality now with Van Persie, he is the one scoring the goals and has a hell of a record. "They play in a specific style with two wing players, Van Persie up front and three midfielders - two attacking, one sitting. That has changed a bit from a couple of years ago when van Persie was a lower number 10 or second striker. "They are playing with a lot of possession and of course they have a lot of talent in the team, but they still have to rotate at the back. Hopefully we can exploit the space we get. "In any game we will get chances, so if we can do the same we did against Wigan, where we scored two goals out of three or four attempts, then we can always get a result." Former Tottenham manager Jol was also full of praise for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, labelling him "one of the greatest" in the game. Jol failed to win any north London derbies against the Frenchman during his time at the Spurs helm and, while admitting it still rankles, thinks the Gunners had a better team back then. "That was a regret because Arsenal were our biggest rivals but we had three draws," he said. "We were close and even in the last game Spurs played at Highbury we finished 1-1. "They had a good side then with Gilberto Silva and Thierry Henry - old war-horses. They were a different team then with a lot of experience and Henry was a problem. "There were a few good games and close ones, but they always had the specific quality, especially at home, to have the edge." Jol will be without several first-team players for Saturday's game. Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff is out with a calf problem, while international team-mate Stephen Kelly is also sidelined with a thigh injury. Although John Arne Riise returns after missing last week's clash at Sunderland due to the birth of his son, Steve Sidwell, Zdenek Grygera, Orlando Sa and Simon Davies are all missing. Such injuries have seen an increasing number of players linked with a move to Craven Cottage in January, including Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac. The France international, who was set to join the Cottagers in August before Marseille pulled the plug, has fallen out with manager Didier Deschamps and has been relegated to the reserves. Asked whether he would consider another move for Gignac, Jol said: "If we do, we will let you know. "Of course we always look to improve the squad and that is what we try to do, but I don't want to mention names."
