Two clubs chasing the Premier League title will do battle today in a match between Arsenal and West Ham. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET will be held at The Emirates in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via Mirror): "Chelsea won [the Premier League title] by a margin last year, so they must be favorites [to win it this year]. We are ready to fight for the championship. We missed our start to the season last year (Arsenal only won two of their first seven games in 2014). Let's try to start to strong, but we have a difficult start with two derbies (West Ham and Crystal Palace) and Liverpool in our first three games."
Alessio Romagnoli Signing With Arsenal
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic (via Eurosport): "Arsenal are a big team, a big club and they have been doing well and have won a trophy already (the FA Cup), which is always good."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Theo Walcott missed most of last season recovering from a ligament tear. Now fully fit, the 26-year-old will look to build on his five-goal performance from 2014.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Cech; Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Bellerin; Cazorla, Coquelin, Ramsey; Ozil, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain
West Ham's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Adrian; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Reid, Burke; Kouyate, Noble, Poyet; Zarate, Sakho, Payet
