Arsenal v West Ham: Starting line-up and match prediction

Arsenal have a chance of going top of the Premiership with a win against West Ham today, for just under 24 hours anyway. With Chelsea facing a tough away fixture against Blackburn tomorrow, and Man United facing Liverpool at Old Trafford, you’d fancy Arsenal taking West Ham at home as the easiest game for the top three. Saying that, no games are easy.

Arsenal have Fabregas, Song and Rosicky back for the game today, and I’m fancying Arsenal to run riot. The full match preview can be found here.

My predicted starting line up is as follows:

Almunia

Sagna     Vermaelen     Silvestre     Clichy

Song

Diaby     Fabregas

Nasri     Arshavin

Bendtner

I’m plumping for a scorline of 4-0 to Arsenal, with goals coming from Nasri, Arshavin, Diaby and Bendtner.

Big game for Arsenal, but West Ham have been poor on the road this season, with only one win under their belt. You can’t see anything other than a win from Arsenal on this one. I hope I’m not wrong!
