Squad sheets: West Ham United v Arsenal

West Ham have lost only once in seven games which is impressive form but as Avram Grant's team are still bottom the manager continues to field questions regarding his future. Arsenal struggled against Championship teams (Leeds in the FA Cup and Ipswich in the Carling Cup) on their previous two outings and in the reverse fixture with West Ham required a late Alexandre Song goal to win. So can Grant's side get a victory to complement wins over Tottenham and Manchester United at Upton Park earlier in the season?
