Arsenal at West Ham: Derby day? I guess? Viewing info, match discussion

By the strictest definition, this game is in fact a derby. But it’s West Ham; it’s fair to say that there’s not a lot of juice around this particular London rivalry, mostly because West Ham are, well, West Ham. They’re 10th, and they’re probably not going to threaten, much less make, any significant moves further north than that.

That doesn’t mean Arsenal can take them lightly, it just means that this game doesn’t generally get supporter pulses racing the way a Chelsea or Spurs game would. But, it’s a game on the schedule, so they have to play it. Arsenal can draw level on points with Chelsea with a win, but Chelsea are playing Newcastle later this morning, so unless Rafa Benitez feels like doing Arsenal a favor, that won’t last. But three points are there for the taking for Arsenal today, so why not take them?
