West Ham’s manager, David Moyes, expressed considerable satisfaction with his team’s advancements as they prepare to face Premier League title contenders Arsenal in London. Following a recent 2-0 victory against Manchester United, the Hammers find themselves just one point away from the top six. Moyes exuded confidence in West Ham’s ongoing improvement throughout the season, citing their current 30-point standing as a noteworthy accomplishment. Despite the absence of striker Michail Antonio, recovering from a knee injury, and center-back Nayef Aguerd undergoing assessment due to illness, Moyes remains optimistic about their performance.
Although West Ham secured a 3-1 win over Arsenal in the English League Cup last month, Moyes anticipates a more challenging encounter in the current competition. He expects significant challenges, acknowledging Arsenal’s historical toughness as an opponent. Moyes recognizes the league’s unpredictability with different player lineups and anticipates Arsenal’s return to full strength.
The manager praised Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta for his commendable work, overcoming initial challenges and steering the team to competitiveness, earning the approval of most Arsenal supporters. If Arsenal secures a victory, they will claim the top spot in the table.
