The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of fixtures this week as Arsenal lock horns with David Moyes' impressive West Ham United outfit at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Arsenal vs West Ham United Preview
West Ham United are in fourth place in the Premier League standings and have consistently punched above their weight this season. The Hammers were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Burnley in their previous game and will need to be more clinical in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The Gunners eased past Southampton by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will want a similar result on Wednesday.
