David Moyes says that West Ham United will come up against a "really good" Arsenal side on Wednesday, but believes that he has the secret to pulling off a shock win.

West Ham United boss David Moyes has claimed that the key to pulling off a shock result against Arsenal on Wednesday night is to make a fast start at the London Stadium.

The Hammers picked up all three points against defending champions Chelsea last time out thanks to a Marko Arnautovic goal inside the opening six minutes.

Arsenal, meanwhile, found themselves two goals down to Manchester United early on and also conceded with just three minutes on the clock against Southampton at the weekend.

Wenger admitted after the 1-1 draw against the Saints that his side looked "anxious" at the back, which Moyes is now hoping to capitalise on.

"If you talk about Arsenal, they're a really good team with excellent players, but we need to find a way of getting a result," he told reporters. "If we can score another early goal, we'll be thrilled."

"I really like Aaron Ramsey. I tried to sign him for Everton before he went to Arsenal and he's turned out to be a terrific player. Jack Wilshere is also an excellent footballer, but maybe some of his injury problems have held him back.

"Olivier Giroud scored against me last year at Sunderland. He's important for Arsenal and who knows if he'll start after he scored off the bench on Sunday? They've got good forwards and we'll have to work hard to keep them out."

West Ham have won just one of their last 19 competitive meetings with London rivals Arsenal.
