Andy Carroll v Shkodran Mustafi
Carroll, always, always manages to find the back of the net against Arsenal. He did it when he was at Newcastle. He did it when he played for Liverpool and has done so whilst at West Ham. His aerial threat causes major problems to all Premier League defences and will surely do so tonight against ours. No Laurent Koscielny tonight, so it will be on Mustafi to do battle with Carroll. Carroll will have the aerial threat over Mustafi, but the German is experienced and will have the edge when it comes to pace. Crosses will need to be at a minimum tonight, that’s for sure. The less we see, the less chance Carroll has to bullet a header in.
