West Ham vs. Arsenal: What the managers are saying
Julen Lopetegui
(via whufc.com)
"They put in a very good performance [against Sporting on Tuesday], for sure. But this is normal - they have a have a lot of ways to win, and they are a great team with great individual players.
"I prefer not to talk about individuals, because they have so many they could name two teams. I would rather talk about what we can control, which is our players, our work and our strengths."
Mikel Arteta
(via Arsenal.com)
"A lot [has changed since the international break], because we were training with 11-12 players for a long period so they could not train and play, and then suddenly almost everybody is fit and available. It’s true, we are still managing certain players but their level is rising. I have no doubt we have the right ability, we are going to be a really good side."
West Ham vs. Arsenal: Prediction
After a rough few weeks, Arsenal have looked like their usual selves under Arteta over the past two matches with thumping victories over Nottingham Forest in the league and Sporting CP in the Champions League.
As noted above, Arsenal have had a good time in games at the London Stadium and they should be expected to continue doing so on Saturday.
