Iwobi target more goals against West Ham

Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi will be aiming to write his name on the scoresheet as Arsenal seek their first win against West Ham in Saturday’s Premier League tie at Emirates Stadium.

Iwobi netted the Gunners equalising goal at Stamford Bridge to make the scoreline 2-2 only to bow to Marcos Alonso’s late minute strike to end the game 3-2 in favour of Chelsea last weekend.

However, with just one starting game and a substitute on his belt, the Nigerian international who will be hoping to lift Arsenal with his goals, knows the Gunners must fire from all cylinder to avoid an upset against the Hammers.

The Gunners, unbeaten in their last nine home London derbies, have won 28 of their 44 top-flight encounters with the Hammers.

Arsenal and West Ham are in desperate need of lift-off after making losing starts to life under Emery and Pellegrini respectively.
