FA Cup: West Ham vs. Arsenal
By Joe, www.bettingexpert.com | Published (Edited )
Another London derby but this time it is in the FA Cup. Arsenal will have to travel across town to the West of London to meet West Ham at Upton Park on Sunday late afternoon kickoff. The London derby are already a grueling affair for both teams but the FA Cup gives it an more fair play ground for both teams as the only stake is on hand is who will be going through to the fourth round. Forget the Premiership table, both teams knows there is more on stake for this one.
West Ham are not having the season they wanted. They are having financial problems and stuck at the bottom half of the table, although the FA Cup will give them a bit of a breather from the Premiership. Manager Zola will most likely put his best eleven against Arsenal in an all or nothing game at Upton Park.
Arsenal are just about the opposite side of the fortune cookie when compared to West Ham. They probably did not want the FA Cup matches to step in as they were in good form in the premiership. They beat Portsmouth 4-1 in the midweek and disposed Aston Villa 3-0 at home. Things are just wonderful with the Gunners and they could go top of the table if they win their game in hand. Transferring their good form to the FA Cup won’t be a problem and Manager Wenger knows that their team are competing in all fronts. Cesc Fabergas will continue to nurse his injury.
If it was a Premiership match then Arsenal would be favorites but since it is a FA Cup then Arsenal are weak favorites. West Ham are notorious to be a hard, gritty and solid team when it comes to knock out matches. They are another team simply because they know there is not required to be consistent in any level but a win is the order of the day. Both teams will go at it and a reply could be on the menu.
