West Ham v Arsenal: match preview

This article is more than 4 years old

Arsenal are the only team in the league not to have won a match in their last six and are winless since 6 October. Put simply this is relegation form. The club must find a permanent replacement for Unai Emery – crucially not Freddie Ljungberg – quickly to turn things around. West Ham reverted to type after beating Chelsea but the spiralling atomic nightmare that is Arsenal should provide a chance for Manuel Pellegrini to rebound once again. Michail Antonio’s fitness, or lack thereof, could be crucial to their chances. Graham Searles
