Home of West Ham United, nicknamed the 'Hammers', Upton Park is located in the Newham borough of Outer London's east London, and has undergone several renovations and now has a capacity of 35,303.

Upton Park is one of the few courses with three stands to have a name: the Centennial Stand, the Bobby Moore Stand and the Dr. Martin Stand.

Built in 2001, the Grandstand is the newest and 15,000-seat grandstand in the stadium and is the main grandstand of the stadium, which houses West Ham United offices, dressing rooms, the club's museum and the new West Ham United Hotel, and is the largest single football stadium stand in London.

In one room, Mr. and Mrs. David Beckham sat side by side with their four children in Arsenal number nine shirts in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, with Pavel Nedved sitting next to David Beckham.

This is the first time they have watched Arsenal's game away from home, Victoria hugged her beloved Xiaoqi, watching her baby daughter cute looking for her brother, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Look, it's out!" Romeo Beckham pointed with his hand, and Xiao Qi immediately put on the mini binoculars, waved his hands incessantly, and shouted happily: "Brother God, brother God." ”

Arsenal players and West Ham players walked onto the pitch under the not-so-good-looking referee Michael Oliver, and the West Ham fans in the stands let out a deafening cry.

The on-site commentator is Martin Taylor, the ace commentator of Sky Sports, and the other two are naturally Paul Merson and Charlie Nicholas, who are naturally brainless fans, and the new guests who came this time were actually Lu Xiaoyou and Liu Xixi, two beauties.

Lu Xiaoyou came to cover the game on behalf of Huaxia National Television, and she has also covered some of Arsenal's key games before. This time, Huaxia National Television and Sky Sports cooperated, and they joined forces to jointly report on the Arsenal game, and Lu Xiaoyou directly connected to the studio of Huaxia National Television on the spot.

Liu Xixi is a reporter for Yueshi Sports' live coverage, and also connects with domestic studios through cooperation with Sky Sports.

In the studio of Huaxia National Sports Channel, Wang Datao, Xu Mingyang, He Yanwei and Tao Dawei were the four people who commented on the game, and Zhang Hei went to Xinying Sports to explain with Yan Gun. The studio of Yueshi Sports is Zhan Jun and Walkerhan, two famous names in the Premier League.

It can be said that this is the first attempt to cooperate with foreign countries, of course, it can be cooperated because of one person, a genius in China, a super striker.

And this morning game at 12:45 noon, the eyes of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans are focused on Upton Park, and the soaring single-game ratings make Premier League officials excitedly calculate how much more the Premier League's broadcast rights will rise.

Around the same time, the commentator who was broadcasting the game began to introduce the line-ups of both sides.

The home team West Ham United fielded a rare 4321 formation this season:

The main goalkeeper is No. 13 Saint-Adrian, right-back No. 30 Mikhail Antonio, central defender No. 2 Winston Reid and No. 21 Angelo Ogbonna, left-back No. 3 Aaron Cresswell, three midfielders are No. 8 Chek Kouyate, No. 4 Alexander Song and No. 16 Mark Noble, two forward midfielders are No. 27 Dimitri Payet and No. 28 Manuel Lanzini, and forward No. 15 Diafra Sakoho.

Subs: No. 1 Darren Randolph, No. 5 James Tomkins, No. 19 James Collins, No. 14 Pedro Obiang, No. 20 Victor Moses, No. 11 Enner Valencia, No. 9 Andy Carroll.

The visiting Arsenal continued their starting line-up from the previous game: goalkeeper No. 33 Peter Cech, left-back No. 18 Nacho Monreal, two centre-backs No. 6 Lawrence Koscielny and No. 5 Gabriel Paulista, right-back No. 24 Hector Bellerin, two midfielders No. 34 Francis Coquelin, No. 35 Mohamed Elneny, forward No. 11 Mesut Ozil, left winger No. 23 Danny Welbeck, right winger No. 17 Alex Sanchez, forward No. 9 Qiansheng.

Arsenal's bench has changed, with No. 13 David Ospina, No. 3 Kieran Gibbs, No. 4 Per Mertesacker, No. 56 Ben Schiff, No. 37 Chrystian Bilink, No. 59 Chris Willock, No. 54 Rene Adelaide.

There are four 18-year-old players sitting on the bench, what kind of trouble are Arsenal going to make? Refresh the youngest line-up? Almost everyone who followed the game secretly complained.

West Ham United coach Srif Bilic stood on the sidelines, his eyes on the Arsenal number nine standing outside the centre circle line, and thought: "Okay, I, Slav, have prepared a big gift for you, I hope you like it."

Oliver, the referee of this game, thought of the game of the Arsenal team that was going to blow the whistle again, and his colleagues gloated and sympathized with him, looked at the calm Qiansheng, and prayed silently in his heart: God bless, let this Chinese person stop causing trouble.

After blowing the whistle, Oliver found that God didn't seem to hear his prayers, Arsenal kicked off first, as soon as the kick-off, West Ham United's Kouyate brought down Ozil, who was in possession of the ball, Oliver warned Kouyate while feeling uneasy, he had a bad feeling, this game, will be very troublesome.

Yes, it's troublesome, Arsène Wenger frowned and looked on the pitch, under West Ham's ferocious pressing and frequent fouls on the ball carriers, Arsenal's rhythm was disrupted, as long as the Arsenal players held the ball, the West Ham players pounced and pressed fiercely, as long as the ball was at your feet, as long as the referee didn't blow the whistle, they had to be brought down. Because they were very clever in fouling and basically did not meet the standard of play, it was very uncomfortable for the Arsenal players to play.

Looking at the Croatian on the sidelines, Wenger felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.

Even Qiansheng, as soon as he received the ball, he was tripped by West Ham United defenders such as Red, Ogbonna, and Song in turn. Fortunately, after Qiansheng got up, he just glanced coldly at the fouling player and walked away without saying a word. Let a heart be raised to his chest, and Oliver, who was worried about his madness, breathed a sigh of relief.

Oliver is not stupid, in the opening ten minutes, West Ham players committed six fouls, each time the foul was out of the card, and he can see that the Hammers are planning to do so.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the foul dead ball, Oliver called the captain of West Ham United Noble to his side and said sternly: "Although fouls are a kind of football tactics, don't think that I can't see whether the foul is intentional or not, please restrain your players, don't challenge my authority!" ”

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Bilic's mouth off the field, and the show was about to begin.
