Arsenal vs West Ham prediction
These two sides met just ten days ago and it was West Ham who came out on top with a 2-0 win, and their form this season means they have to be viewed as favourites even with Arsenal having home advantage.
With the Hammers so dangerous going forward and Arsenal far from convincing at the back, it looks likely that this current crop emulates the likes of Michael Carrick and Joe Cole and brings the trophy back to east London.
