Just as West Ham manager Alan Pardew was
celebrating his first win in six games, he realised
that they now face Arsenal! Before their 2-1 home
win over Blackburn, they had lost six games on the
bounce, and Alan Pardew is still under extreme
pressure at Upton Park.
Arsenal seem to have found their form once again,
although they wil be extremely disappointed after
being held 0-0 in the Champions League against CSKA
Moscow midweek. They also drew their last
Premiership game 1-1 with Everton last Saturday.
I don't think this is going to be an easy
walkover for Arsenal at all, as West Ham are now
playing to get themselves out of the bottom of the
table and also playing for the survival of their
manager. West Ham are a big 4/1 to win the game and
I think this is just about right. I dont think West
Ham will win the game, but you have to say that
Arsenal have been pretty disappointing after their
last two games, and West Ham will have been given a
huge lift after securing their 2-1 home win over
Blackburn.
Due to this, I'm going for
West Ham +0.75 @ 11/10 on the asian handicap
with Bet365, who will offer all new customers a free
£100 bet on this game. Im sure West Ham will
fight for everything, and with Arsenal not firing on
all cylinders, this game could well end in a
draw. |
