Fulham midfielder Derek Boateng is bracing himself for Saturday’s north London derby against Arsenal.

“It’s not about me but about the team. The game against Arsenal will be a difficult one but I’m looking forward to it,†Boateng told Happy FM

“This is one fixture that we’re looking forward to and I’m confident we’ll come out tops.â€
