[b]West Ham travel to Arsenal on Saturday as they continue their battle against relegation.
The Gunners will be determined to get back on track following last weekend's 4-1 defeat at Liverpool, and dropping points against The Hammers would leave Rafa Benitez's side as firm favourites to finish the season in third.
Having bowed out of the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in recent weeks, Arsene Wenger has urged his players not to let their campaign just peter out.
However, successive defeats to Everton and Liverpool will have raised confidence in an already buoyant West Ham camp that they can claim a good result at Emirates Stadium.
West Ham beat Arsenal 1-0 in November in a match overshadowed by a touchline bust-up between then manager Alan Pardew and opposite number Wenger.
It proved to be a false dawn for The Hammers as they continued to struggle for another few months, but Carlos Tevez has inspired a resurgence over the last month.
Back-to-back victories over Blackburn and Middlesbrough have lifted West Ham to within five points of safety, and they may already have half an eye on next week's 'six-pointer' against Sheffield United.
Both sides will have been cursing their luck with injuries this season, and Emmanuel Eboue has emerged as the latest concern for Arsenal this week.
The right-back has a groin problem and his chances of featuring have been rated as only 50-50.
If Eboue is ruled out, he will join a casualty list already including Thierry Henry (groin and stomach), Robin van Persie (metatarsal) and Theo Walcott (shoulder).
Gilberto and Jeremie Aliadiere are available again after overcoming injuries.
West Ham midfielder Nigel Quashie (ankle) and defender Calum Davenport (foot) are both doubtful for the trip to Arsenal, but Yossi Benayoun, who was rested against Middlesbrough after returning from international duty with Israel, could return.
Matthew Upson has aggravated his calf injury and is expected to be sidelined for most of the remainder of the season.
Bobby Zamora is likely to keep his place alongside Tevez in attack.
My prediction: 3-1
Player to watch: Adebayor [/b]
