Est Ham will travel to Arsenal on Wednesday for a London derby that could have a huge impact on the race for the top four.
A goalless draw at Burnley last time out cut the Hammers’ lead in the Champions League battle, with just one point over Manchester United and two over Arsenal in this midweek round. Tottenham, with two games in hand, sits three behind.
Therefore, the clash at the Emirates Stadium is a great opportunity for both sides to claim fourth place and send a message to their rivals.
Arsenal haven’t particularly enjoyed these kinds of games this season, losing to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City, while the Hammers’ strong start has essentially been built on major scalp.
But West Ham will have to improve their record against the Gunners to secure a result, having blown a three-goal lead in their memorable encounter last season.
