Arsenal and West Ham are back in action after a short week and the stakes continue to rise. Here are all the ways to watch.

Arsenal’s quest to claw back into the top five has come to another open door against West Ham at the Emirates. With Manchester United drawing (surprise!) against Everton, all the Gunners would have to do is win and they leapfrog the Red Devils.

Of course, it’s never that easy, not even at home. And it will be made even tougher thanks to the unfortunate injury situation that the club finds itself in.

For starters, team captain and arguably the most reliable defender in England, Laurent Koscielny, is out with an achilles problem that kept him out of the second half against Manchester City. Arsene Wenger had no idea how long it would keep him out for.

Petr Cech is still out and David Ospina is even questionable, as young Brazilian Emi Martinez might have to make an emergency start to save the day.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey will have to pass late fitness tests while Lucas Perez is also still missing.

On West Ham’s side, the health is returning, with Michail Antonio back with the squad. Aaron Cresswell will be missing, but overall, the Hammers are in good form to put up a tough fight against a batter Arsenal side.

And then there is Andy Carroll. Always a buggering menace, Carroll has plagued the Gunners since day one and with a decrease in defensive size and strength, it will be interesting to see the approach that Wenger takes. Even if Carroll doesn’t start, which he rarely does, his spirited presence late in the match is going to be a problem.

It will be interesting to see the team rotations given the short break. It would be a pretty stellar idea for Wenger to rotate Mesut Ozil out and opt for the 4-3-3 that found short-lived success. With a middle three of Ramsey, Granit Xhaka and Oxlade-Chamberlain, this squad found a pretty solid central force to deal with both sides of the ball.

You have to think that at some point, this Gunners side will turn it around and make that annual charge to close out the season. With that in mind, here are all the match facts and how to tune in:
