The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Arsenal

3 December 2016 3023 comments

A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    After Southampton trashed today, is it worth still doubling up for cedric and austin? Or should i look for another def under 5.4?

      Don't connect their defence with their forwards. Austin will still score goals regardless.

      Just beause they conceded goal in three game doesn't mean you should look for another defender.
      To keep clean sheet away from home is rarely hard

      i' was looking at the same but just read Saints are looking at 7 games in Dec and 7 in Jan so rotation could be an issue.
      I'm considering shipping Austin with the other forward options Saints have waiting in the wings.

      They didn't get thrashed. Forster absolutely failed them, that's what happened, and that they missed a horse load of chances. They still have very good fixtures upcoming, I'd be confident about having both defence and attack from Saints.
