West Ham United welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium on the back of a huge win over Chelsea.
David Moyes secured his first win as West Ham United manager on Saturday as his side ended an eight-game losing run by shocking champions Chelsea at the London Stadium.
Now the Scotsman has the chance to make Hammers history by becoming the first manager since the legendary John Lyall in 1986-87 to beat capital rivals Chelsea and Arsenal in the same season.
The Gunners visit West Ham on Wednesday evening unbeaten in nine away matches with the Irons.
Only a few days ago, these back-to-back derbies would have been met with trepidation by Hammers supporters after seeing their side make a four-match winless start under Moyes.
But now this tough run has the capacity to completely transform West Ham’s season, because the London Stadium will be rocking after such an encouraging performance against Chelsea.
The successor to Upton Park may not feel like home to Hammers fans yet, but it has already played host to derby triumphs over Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Victory for West Ham this evening could lift them out of the relegation zone, depending on results elsewhere, and make them the happiest fans in London, for a few days at least.
