Arsenal are set to face West Ham United in the Premier League with sixth place in the standings going up against the side that currently sit in fourth.

The Hammers will make the 5.9-mile journey across London to face their city rivals in what is the start of a pivotal point in the season with the Christmas period looming. However, events away from the pitch are on the agenda right now.
