West Ham v Arsenal Sept 29, 3pm
9:21am Friday 28th September 2007
LAST MEETING: Arsenal 0 West Ham 1 (07-04-07)
LAST TIME AT UPTON PARK: West Ham 1 Arsenal 0 (05-11-2006)HEAD-TO-HEAD: West Ham 33, Arsenal 47, draws 36.
FORM: The Gunners are flying high at the top of the Premier League and remain unbeaten in all competitions this season. They have scored 11 goals in just their last three league games, including a 5-0 thrashing of Derby on Saturday. Blackburn are the only team to have earned a draw against Arsene Wenger's side this campaign. However, the Hammers have a good record against Arsenal at Upton Park, where they have not lost to them since October 2000.
DANGER MAN: Cesc Fabregas has found his goalscoring boots this term. The Spanish midfielder has already hit the back of the net six times in all competitions, scoring in each of the Gunners' last four league games, not to mention his masterly assists. Meanwhile Emmanuel Adebayor bagged a brace against Tottenham and a hat-trick against Derby.
FUN FACT: With Jeremy Beadle among Arsenal's famous fans, West Ham supporters will be hoping none of their players get caught out in front of the cameras. There were rumours last month that the infamous Beadle's About practical joke show was to be resurrected with comedian Harry Hill presenting, but these have so far been denied by ITV.
PREDICTION: West Ham 2 Arsenal 2
