West Ham Team News
Discussing the challenge ahead against Arsenal, West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo said:
“I think they need confidence, especially the players in our frontline. Things will change. Sunday is the day. We’ve been working well; committed and focused. We realise the importance [of the game]. We are getting ready. We are going to be ready.
“Being at home is good for us, especially recently. Our fans are being really, really helpful. It’s always nervy; especially in the final games of the season, there is always anxiety. It’s up to us to try and control our nerves and deliver what we want.”
On the injury front for West Ham, Nuno has almost a fully-fit squad to pick from. Only goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is unavailable with a back injury.

“No chance for the weekend.”
