Arsenal v West Ham

westham.jpgAnother week and another tough game for Gianfranco Zola's West Ham team against title-chasing Arsenal.

The Irons make the trip across London tomorrow evening hovering just above the Premier League drop zone but may return empty handed from the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger's men have been knocking the goals in for fun in recent weeks, with the likes of Andrei Arshavin and Nicklas Bendtner in good form.

It could be a long evening in front of the ESPN cameras for the Hammers, who were beaten 4-1 at Chelsea last Saturday.

Mark Noble and Herita Ilunga have both trained this week after recovering from arm and hamstring injuries respectively and could be included in the match-day squad.

If Ilunga doesn't make the starting line-up Fabio Daprela is likely to keep the left-back spot.

Julien Faubert is still a doubt as he recovers from the hamstring strain picked up in the defeat by Bolton two weeks ago.

West Ham (from): Green, Stech, Faubert, Ilunga, Daprela, Spector, Upson, Gabbidon, Tomkins, Kovac, Parker, Behrami, Dyer, Noble, Collison, Stanislas, Diamanti, Ilan, Cole, Mido, McCarthy.

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Kick-off: 5.30pm

Referee: Martin Atkinson

Travel: Nearest stations are Arsenal or Holloway Road (both Piccadilly line).
