West Ham United will host Arsenal on Sunday, March 21. BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for the Premier League clash. The Hammers recently suffered a 1-0 league defeat at Manchester United. The Gunners are currently seven points behind the Hammers in the 10th spot, but they are unbeaten in the last three games in the top-flight. Lawrenson has predicted a share of the spoils (1-1) in the London derby. He told BBC Sport: “This feels like a big game for West Ham, as a test of their top-four aspirations, and I think the underlying message from their manager David Moyes will be ‘let’s not lose it’. All his side need to do is stay in the mix. Moyes did not quite get the balance right last week when West Ham lost at Old Trafford, so he might tweak a few things to ensure they offer more of a threat. "It will be interesting to see how Arsenal approach it too. They were attack-minded against Tottenham last week and were rewarded with the three points.”
