Reasons behind Arsenal's dressing room 'clock' photo at Fulham are revealed

Arsenal are taking their home comforts on the road in their bid to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2004.

The Gunners resorted their five point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon.

After the game, a photo of the Gunners players holding a replica of the iconic clock that is positioned above the Clock End at the Emirates Stadium in the away dressing room at Craven Cottage emerged.

And Sportsmail can reveal the unexpected move is part of an innovative wider plan from within the Gunners squad to make away dressing rooms feel more like the Emirates.

In addition to the replica clock - wall stickers of the Arsenal badge and a poster of the official squad photo was also placed on the walls of the away dressing room at Craven Cottage to give it a more familiar feel.

The clock has symbolic significance in Arsenal's history and graced the club's former ground Highbury for more than 70 years.

In 2010 a larger replica of the iconic clock was installed at Emirates Stadium, with the original located outside the stadium.

Of Arsenal’s 11 remaining Premier League fixtures - five are away from home.

These include a tricky clash at Anfield on April 9, as well as what could potentially be a title decider at the Etihad against Man City on April 26.
