    Pun Guy: Gold should bring in Silva

    Paul: Arsenal aren't a good side right now but they do have some top players. And lucky for them West ham aren't a good side either but they don't have any top players

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    The Arsenal fans are cheering every pass from their side now.

    Anyone predict the game would end in this fashion at the break?

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    The home fans are flooding out the stadium now.

    Apathy is almost worse than anger.

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    Now Calum Chambers is down holding his head after a brave challenge to stop Sebastien Haller getting to the ball in the box.

    Seven minutes of added time. It is enough to give West Ham hope, but I don't think there is a reserve there to tap into.

    This will be one win in 11, one clean sheet in 11 for West Ham. Ouch.

    What an impact Pepe has made. Is that goal going to be the real spark for him in an Arsenal shirt? Then the assist for Aubameyang looks like it has killed the game.

    Oh dear.

    The stadium announcer says David Luiz is coming on, then apologises as it is actually Matteo Guendouzi.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 88 mins

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    A lot of empty seats on show now. Plenty of West Ham fans have given this up.

    Nicolas Pepe departs to be replaced by Reiss Nelson. Pepe gets a big high five from his interim boss.

    Off goes Xhaka and on comes Matteo Guendouzi. Sensible move, but Xhaka probably should never have been allowed back on after his head blow.

    This might be the end of the game for Xhaka. He is down again, not long after receiving treatment for a head injury.

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    Nicolas Pepe has wheels, but not enough composure. Mark Noble's sloppy pass sends the Arsenal winger away and he turns on the afterburners to tear away.

    Just as he reaches the box, though, he has to turn and the West ham defence can rally and dispossess him.

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    The fight has been knocked out of West Ham. Those three blows in nine minutes has completely taken the game away from them.

    They must be wondering how?

    Granit Xhaka gets a lot of treatment for what looks like a head injury. I think he'll be OK. They do all the necessary checks (can't be too careful with head blows) before he returns to the game.

    Nathan Holland on for Robert Snodgrass. Big ask for a young lad.

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    Pepe has done a lot of good to get Arsenal back in this game, but he doesn't help himself sometimes. He goes down so easily after trying to beat Arthur Masuaku and losing the ball.

    Get up man.

    Arsenal are in total control now.

    West Ham have got to get the next goal and we know the Arsenal backline are capable of crumbling.

    Femi: From the look of things, Pellegrini's sack letter will be ready in the morning. West Ham have lost their way in this match.

    Bishop: Cresswell went off and Pepe burst to life

    Daniel: It has to be the end for Pellegrini now. We've seen far too many of these performances

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    Almost 4-1. Lucas Torreira's drive in the box is blocked by a superb goal-saving diving challenge from Angelo Ogbonna.

    Moments earlier, Felipe Anderson departed, with Sebastian Haller coming on. Be a mighty fine time for the big striker to start repaying that £45m.

    West Ham 1-3 Arsenal

    About 10 minutes ago, Freddie Ljungberg had no chance of the Arsenal job. I don't want to go in two-footed on a good man, but it would be remiss of me not to mention that the knives will no doubt be out for Manuel Pellegrini if West Ham lose this.
