West Ham United midfielder Alex Song has explained how the Hammers can shock former club Arsenal this weekend.

The Irons travel to the Emirates on Saturday hoping to end a six-match winless run. Arsenal will be heavy favourites but Song believes West Ham can upset the odds.

Song told the Express: "I know this stadium very well and I know when you play with Arsenal it's very hard, but I think Monaco is how you want to play when you play in the Emirates.

"The best thing to do is to try to be together, defend together very well and when you have the opportunity to go on the counter attack, you have to do it very well like Monaco did it.

"If you want to go to Emirates and try to play you will not have any chance to win the game there because this stadium is very hard to play in.

"You have to stay together very compact and not give them any room, then take the opportunity on the counter attack.

"If we do this very well like Monaco did, then we can get a good result there."
