Got insomnia, so i'm making it.
West Ham United v Arsenal
Barclays Premiership
Boleyn Ground, Upton Park
Saturday, September 24, 2005
Kick-off: 3pm
Should be a good one, both attacking sides. London derby to boot, with 2 of the 3 best supported London teams (Spurs).
Table:
6. West Ham 10 (+6)
7. Arsenal 9 (+5)
Both clubs have the ability to go as high as 2nd if results fall their way.
West Ham United: Flying high in the top 6 after achiving promotion last season, just advanced to the Carling Cup 3rd round with a 2-4 win at Hillsborough over Sheff Wed.
Harewood looks in good shape, claiming the league's lone hat trick this season. The move to London looks to have breathed new life into Roy Carroll.
Aliadiere can't play due to FAPL rules forbidding loanees from playing their parent club.
Arsenal: Still doomed, Arsenal also won the last match they played, 2-0 over one of those 4-5-1 sides at Highbury, Sol Campbell getting both goals.
Of the players fit for selection, Sol Campbell and Pascal Cygan are the leading goal scorers on 2 a piece, injured captain Thierry Henry is the overall team leader.
Thierry Henry and Robert Pires are both injured, Pires injured intenionally by Phil Neville, Henry hurt his groin on International duty. Ryan Smith is banned for the FA Cup holders. Keown could feature.
Squads:
West Ham United: Carroll, Repka, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Konchesky, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Benayoun, Etherington, Sheringham, Harewood, Zamora, Dailly, Newton, Bellion, Hislop, Collins, Cohen, Ward, Stokes, Noble, Ephraim.
Arsenal: Lehmann, Almunia, Lauren, Eboue, Cole, Clichy, Campbell, Toure, Keown, Cygan, Gilberto, Fabregas, Flamini, Song, Hleb, Ljungberg, van Persie, Reyes, Owusu-Abeyie. (Ljungberg very doubtful)
