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

    Hmmm.... Stoke has not conceded more than 1 goal in a match since GW2, but does that mean much when they play at Arsenal?

    That said, Arsenal hasn't really been that great recently. Just against Hammers, but they've been kinda rubbish.

        But still. 9GW's without conceding more than 1/match. It does say that they've not been the easiest opponent.

        Although, that's probably because they've been playing weak attacks.

      Going to go away and study the stats tonight to judge whether a Stoke hammering is likely. My gut tells me it isn't but I'm not sure I believe it...

      Arsenal s overall form and Sanchez s morale will change everything.. can see them shipping 3 goals for the first time .

        Arsenal's overall form was awful coming to this match. Will 1 match change it?

        Stoke shipped 4 goals thrice in the first 5 GW's.

    Evening all, advice welcome......

    Janmaat, Pieters & Walcott

    To

    Cedric, Brunt and Sanchez for a -8.

    I could do Walcott to Sanchez without the hit but have the exact money to do these 3 before all rise this week.

    Other option is avoid the -8 and sell Capoue for a 4.3 at some point to free up money and stagger defensive moves....
