Arsenal vs West Ham Live Football Score 21 Mar 2021
The return of Jesse Lingard should ensure that West Ham offer more in attack after last week’s disappointing defeat to Manchester United. Lingard has been outstanding since joining on loan from United and has regained
hisspot in the England squad. West Ham, who could draw level with fourth-placed Chelsea, will need the midfielder to shine against Arsenal, who have a short recovery time after beating Olympiakos on aggregate in the Europa League. Jacob Steinberg
