West Ham must put pressure on Arsenal

But Bilic said he has not even contemplated relegation and that he has never once questioned belief in the work he is doing with West Ham.

"After four defeats, now is the time we have to show leadership", Bilic said in his post match press conference.

Midfield: Francis Coquelin missed training today so he's a doubt tomorrow but thankfully Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey are back in contention after recovering from minor knocks.

Wenger suggested that Ozil had been "punished" by the fans more than other players but added: "We live in a world of extremes".

Fonte's poor clearance went straight to Ozil and the Germany midfielder sent a tame left-foot effort toward the bottom corner that Randolph allowed to squirm under his body in the 58th minute.

Ozil, like Alexis Sanchez, has just over a year remaining on his current contract and is yet to commit his long-term future to the club amid speculation that Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich will launch summer bids for him.

A goalkeeping error from Darren Randolph allowed Mesut Ozil to give Arsenal the lead before Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud wrapped up the victory at the Emirates Stadium. The game was well won by that point and Giroud barely celebrated despite the brilliance of the finish.

Luis Severino had originally been slated to start on Wednesday, according to Adler, but his start will be pushed back a day. NY took a 2-0 lead against Alex Cobb on Jacoby Ellsbury's RBI double in the third and Aaron Judge's home run in the fourth.

'It is not like we realise now that we need points, we know that.

Gabriel did reasonably well during the second half and I expect the Brazilian will partner Shkodran Mustafi tomorrow night with Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal retaining their places at full-back. "It was a convincing performance with good individual performances from everybody".

"I wouldn't just say the goals (helped his confidence), you could see it was slowly starting to come back", the England global told Arsenal's official site.

Welbeck has not scored a goal at the Emirates Stadium for nearly 12 months and crashed a shot into the side-netting as Bilic threw on fit-again Diafra Sakho in place of Andy Carroll.

The win was marred by an injury-time fightback by rivals Spurs against Swansea.

Wenger's men also hold at least one game in hand on all of the teams above them. "Elneny is a continuity player who is a generous player and wants to help the team".
