Match Preview: West Ham vs Arsenal - Premier League 09.04.16

We're up against it now. With only seven matches to play, we somehow have to close an eleven-point gap between us and Leicester. Failing that, we simply must overtake Tottenham, who are four points clear having played one more match than we have. After obliterating Watford last weekend, we have to go into Boleyn Ground to face a stubborn opponent that's added a bit of verve going forward, enough to be harbouring dreams of closing the gap between a team or two above them on the table.

Match Preview: Arsenal vs. Watford - Premier League 02.04.2016

Watford. Watford, of all clubs. Travel back just a few weeks, and the club with an elk as a logo and a Hornet as a mascot would have looked like just another speed-bump between Arsenal and a possible double. A third-consecutive FA Cup was still in the sights; the Prem was still within reach. Then, the unthinkable happened, and we're left grasping at straws. We've crashed out of the FA Cup. The Prem, however, still dangles just barely within reach. Barely. Arsenal must exact a measure of revenge.
