Arsenal face West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on April 5. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
As Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates, it may end up being a more hostile environment for the Gunners than their visiting London foes. As Arsene Wenger continues to fight for his job and reputation, the Gunners need a solid performance. In years past it has seemingly been the consistent top four finishes that have allowed Wenger to keep his job. As long as the Champions League money keeps pouring in, the Arsenal board is happy.
On the pitch, the matchup will be fascinating. Arsenal will be desperate to go up early and silence the nervous Gunner faithful. Arsenal will likely need to rely heavily on Alexis Sanchez for some resemblance of offensive production, while simultaneously hoping for big performances from Granit Xhaka and the back line.
Wenger can’t afford a rough defensive day against Michail Antonio, Robert Snodgrass and Andy Carroll. The three Hammers have been in quality form and will look to capitalize on a weak Arsenal defense as of late. Slaven Bilic’s side are also coming off a loss to relegation-threatened Hull, and will be hoping to get back on track quickly with a big performance against one of the league’s best sides.
