A crucial clash in the race for European football takes place today as West Ham welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium.
For the Hammers, this game is sandwiched between the two legs of their Europa League semi-final against Eintracht Frankfurt and having been beaten 2-1 in the first of them on Thursday night, David Moyes’ side have work to do in Germany next week.
The Gunners’ hopes of Champions League qualification took a major hit in the shape of three straight defeats earlier this month.
But they roared back to form by beating Chelsea and Manchester United within the space of four days to recapture the initiative from rivals Tottenham.
