A win would see us jump up level on points with fourth placed Chelsea. All three points would put the Hammers in a fantastic position heading into the final international break of the season.

“Fredericks will be back against Arsenal.”

That really is great news for West Ham and David Moyes.

The 28-year-old former Fulham ace really impressed in an unfamiliar right wing position for the Hammers away at Aston Villa in the Premier League and Manchester United in the FA Cup last month.

It is highly unlikely that Fredericks will start. Having him as an option to use off the bench, however, will be a big boost for West Ham.

Hopefully the Hammers don’t need to use Fredericks. If we are winning the game with not long left, however, it would be no surprise to see Moyes bring him on in order to help close out the match.
