Follow the latest updates tonight as West Ham host London rivals Arsenal

Ljungberg knows confidence is key to improving Arsenal’s fortunes

West Ham host Arsenal this evening, hoping to bounce back after their midweek defeat by Wolves.

The Hammers ended a torrid run of recent form by stunning Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but failed to capitalise on that performance by falling to a 2-0 loss at the Molineux. Their latest loss leaves them 16th in the league, just one point above the relegation zone.

Tonight they play Arsenal, another team struggling for form. In fact, victory for West Ham tonight will leave the London rivals level on points. Follow the latest below:
