Embattled players of Arsenal take on West Ham United in the English Premier League on Wednesday evening with the sole aim of picking the maximum points.
With only one point out of nine from the last three fixtures and drifting some seven points from a Champions League spot, it’s not hyperbolic to say that Arsenal’s game against West Ham is a must-win.
Without Arteta, Rosicky and Coquelin but with the addition of Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain after illness, Arsenal should have more than enough to overcome Sam Allardyce’s men if they don’t allow the tension of the occasion to get to them.
Also on Wednesday evening, Chelsea will visit the Liberty Stadium to battle Swansea in Capital One Cup semi-final, second leg.
Swansea have a 2-0 lead going into the semi-final second leg courtesy of their win at the Stamford Bridge.
