WEST HAM were handed a mouth-watering FA Cup third round tie against Arsenal, to be played at Upton Park on the weekend of January 2/3.
The Hammers have the luxury of a home draw, but the game represents one of the toughest possible fixtures at the first hurdle for Gianfranco Zola's men.
West Ham will hope to go one step further than the last time these two teams met at the Boleyn Ground, after they came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw.
