Arsenal v West Ham
8pm ko - Sky Sports
Preview
A game with 2 contrasting state of affairs. On one hand you have Arsenal who have improved massively while looking like a more cohesive unit, then the other end of scales you have a very poor West Ham squad who are lacking any team spirit along with a board who are selling the best young players they have.
Arsenal have done some great business in the market bringing in a high quality centre half in Gabriel who will shore up the defence while posing a threat at corners. They looked a great team in the opening week and will be looking to improve on a very encouraging first game of the season. They still have things to improve on but the business they have completed and the full season ahead with Arteta can only mean goof things for them going forward.
West Ham on the other hand was very poor in the opening week when home to Newcastle while showing nothing in attack and being frail at the back. They have become very dependant on Rice running the team in the middle of the park and when he is over run they struggle a lot which doesnt bode well for the season ahead. They will be hoping the pace and power of Antonio can cause problems to the defensive line or it will be a very long game indeed.
