The Hammers welcome the Gunners to East London this weekend in what is a huge game for both sides.
West Ham can go level on points with fourth placed Chelsea with a win whilst Arsenal can jump back into contention for the Champions League spots with a victory.
The Hammers will need to improve upon their display last time out against Manchester United. That’s for sure.
West Ham were without Pablo Fornals for that game, however.
And the East London outfit really missed the hard working Hammer.
David Moyes provides Pablo Fornals fitness update
There have been conflicting reports this week regarding the Spaniard’s fitness.
David Moyes told reporters today that the 25-year-old is improving ahead of West Ham’s clash with Arsenal on on Sunday, as quoted by the club’s official website:
“We’ve got just about everybody the same at the moment. Pablo Fornals is improving and Angelo Ogbonna is getting closer to fitness, although not for this game.”
We all knew that Ogbonna wouldn’t be back for the Arsenal game. It’s good to know that he is getting closer to a return nevertheless.
Having Fornals back would be a huge boost though.
Moyes was deliberately coy when discussing the Spaniard. Let’s just hope that the 25-year-old is ready to play on Sunday, however.
It was clear to see last weekend just how much West Ham miss him.
