“As hungry as they are”: Mavropanos rallies West Ham to attack Arsenal with survival on the line

Konstantinos Mavropanos has said West Ham have no option but to 'go for it' when the club take on Arsenal this afternoon.

West Ham take on their title-chasing London rivals with both teams in need of the points. The Hammers dropped back into thePremier League's relegation places last weekend, after losing 3-0 to Brentford, and are a point from safety with three games to go.

The visit of Arsenal is the first of three massive games for the Irons, who travel to Newcastle and host Leeds before the end of the campaign.

Arsenal arrive at the London Stadium for today's derby with the title race in their hands. The Gunners have a two-point lead over rivals Manchester City, and are closing in on a first league title in 22 years.

Though the teams are at opposite ends of thePremier League table, Mavropanos has said West Ham are just 'as hungry' as Arsenal in the battle for precious points.
