Arsenal 1 - 1 Sunderland, Man Utd 0 - 0 West Ham

The Premier League continues with Arsenal’s injury crisis the hot topic while Manchester United welcome giant killers West Ham to Old Trafford.

Alexis Sanchez limps off with an injury against Norwich last weekend

Despite the
increasing number of injuries affecting his team, Wenger refuses to blame his physios and club doctors.
He said: “It’s a debate that I leave to specialists. We compare our injuries across Europe and I don’t think we have more injuries than anyone else.”
Arsenal is facing a mini-injury crisis with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Francis Coquelin, Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Oxlade Chamberlain, Tomas Rosick, Santi Carzola, Alexis Sanchez, Mikel Arteta all missing out in action.
For Manchester United, Van Gaal will hope he still has the trust of the dressing room after sensational claiming during his pre-match conference that he will quit if the chemistry he has with the players vanishes.
West Ham have already defeated Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City away from home and could be the first team to defeat the four clubs if they can repeat their heroics against Manchester United.
