Match Preview:

The all London derby will see Arsenal as the odds on favourites to beat West Ham. However the Gunners will have their 1^st leg Europa League match against Atletico Madrid on their minds and the Hammers will be looking to capitalise on that.

In truth Arsenal have little to play for in this game. If they end up going out of the Europa League and slip to 7^th it means no European football for the side in over 20 years and whilst this would feel like a disaster it could well work in the teams advantage for next season in the league.

Arsene Wenger’s side still has one of the best home records in the league where they have gained 41 points from a possible 51 and have lost just two times.

West Ham are still in danger of relegation and have a very difficult run in that includes this match and games against both Manchester sides. David Moyes' team were frustrating at home against Stoke where they could only draw 1-1 and yet until Andy Carroll scored a last minute goal they were set to lose that game. But this is the same side that were able to go to Chelsea and claim a draw.

The Hammers have won just 2 games away all season and have not won on the road in 3 months. They are averaging shipping 2 goals a game.
