West Ham United host Arsenal at Upton Park this Saturday as they try to secure their fifth consecutive game unbeaten.

West Ham United have not been beaten in their last four Premier League matches and they can extend that to five if they manage to get a result against Arsenal on Saturday.

The Hammers host the North London club at Upton Park and Arsene Wenger will be hoping to get back on track in the league following the Gunners' 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at the weekend.

Sam Allardyce could start Matt Jarvis on Saturday after the former Wolverhampton Wanderers player found the net in the Hammers' 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers on Monday evening, while Andy Carroll could also return to the starting XI.

Meanwhile, Wenger could keep Gervinho in the starting lineup, sitting just in front of Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, which could mean another start on the bench for Olivier Giroud.

Recent form:

West Ham: LWDDW
Arsenal: DWWDL

Possible lineups:

West Ham: Jaaskelainen; Demel, Reid, Collins, O'Brien; Noble, Diame; Vaz Te, Nolan, Jarvis; Carroll

Arsenal: Mannone; Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs; Ramsey, Arteta; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Gervinho

Sports Mole says: 1-2
