    HOW TO WATCH SHEFFIELD UNITED V WEST HAM ON TNT SPORTS & DISCOVERY+
    The Premier League action continues on TNT Sports and discovery+ after the half-time break, and we’re also back tomorrow.
    Below are all the details on how to watch and live stream Sheffield United v West Ham United in the Premier League in the UK on TNT Sports and discovery+.
    Chris Wilder’s men will be looking to end a four-match winless run in the Premier League, following a morale-boosting 4-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Gillingham. The Hammers are winless in their last three games across all competitions.

    REPORT: ARSENAL CRUISE TO WIN
    Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli were the driving forces at both the start and end of the match as Arsenal banished the memories of a forgetful festive period when comfortably beating Crystal Palace 5-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
    A four-game winless run saw Arsenal slip to fourth in the table and also exit the FA Cup at the hands of Liverpool, but this victory will have restored confidence as they bid to reignite their title charge.
    In truth, Palace offered little by way of opposition, and that was certainly the case from set pieces as twice Gabriel caused havoc in the first half.
    The first goal was unquestionably Gabriel’s, but his second header then went down as a Dean Henderson own goal having come off the goalkeeper’s head while he was down on the turf – his protests for a foul also going unheard.
    Leandro Trossard then scored his first goal since November after the break to seal the three points and ramp the pressure up on Palace manager Roy Hodgson. Substitute Gabriel Martinelli rounded things off in added time with two nearly carbon-copy goals.
    The result moves Arsenal into third, level on points with Manchester City and Aston Villa respectively – and two behind leaders Liverpool – while Palace stay 14th, five points above the relegation zone.
    14:31
    THE GABRIELS
    Gabriel Magalhaes on TNT SPORTS:
    “I’m so happy to help my team, and so happy for Martinelli. One more minute he would have scored three!”
    Gabriel Martinelli:
    “It was a brilliant performance. We needed a game like that. I’m here to help the team, even for one or two minutes. I’m so happy. We know our qualities and it doesn’t matter what people say outside, we believe in ourselves.”
    14:29
    HODGSON READS BANNER
    Quite a huge moment as Hodgson is captured standing in his own technical area, rooted to the spot as he looks over to the Palace fans in the distance.
    That banner is up, and Hodgson looks a little dazed as Eze goes over and apologies to the Palace fans.
    A reminder. The banner reads: “Wasted potential on and off the pitch. Weak decisions taking us backwards.”
    End of 2nd Half
    FT
    FULL-TIME
    A good win turns into a great win there as Arsenal close the gap on Liverpool to two points.
    A return to winning ways for Arsenal, and potentially the end of the road for Hodgson at Palace. Especially after their fans made their own feelings clear.
    Arsenal up to third.

    GOAL! ARSENAL 5-0 CRYSTAL PALACE (MARTINELLI)
    Copy and paste!!!
    Literally. That happened so quick, and was so similar, I’m actually going to copy and paste.
    It’s Henry-esque as he opens up his body to curl a low effort into the far corner. Lovely finish.
    Martinelli with a late double!!

    GOAL! ARSENAL 4-0 CRYSTAL PALACE (MARTINELLI)
    The icing on the cake. The final nail in the coffin for Hodgson?
    Martinelli is in acres of space after being picked out by Nketiah. It’s Henry-esque as he opens up his body to curl a low effort into the far corner. Lovely finish.

    TIME FOR A CHANGE?
    Notably, Palace fans have just a few banners in the 90th minute.
    “Wasted potential on and off the pitch. Weak decisions taking us backwards.”

    ARSENAL BETTER OFF AS TITLE-CHASERS?
    Lucy Ward on TNT Sports co-commentary:
    They wobbled last year and couldn’t deal with their emotions. They’re more resilient now and playing differently. They’re not over-achieving on xG and they look defensively solid. That is a good foundation to chase.

    WATCH: TROSSARD SCORES ARSENAL'S THIRD

    ‘Brilliant finish’ - Trossard goal puts Arsenal in cruise control against Palace

    82'
    DOUBLE SUB
    Gabriel needs treatment and winces a little. It's hard to know how serious that injury is but he walks off unaided as part of a final double sub for Arsenal.
    On comes Kiwior, likewise Nketiah for Jesus.

    The Gunners go on the counter but it ends with Odegaard seeing his shot blocked after Martinelli spearheaded the counter-attack.

    WATCH: FINALLY FOR TROSSARD
    That’s his first goal since November 11. Safe to say he enjoyed it therefore.

    DOUBLE ARSENAL SUB
    A fine afternoon’s work for Trossard and there’s a sight Palace would rather not see – the fresh legs of Martinelli.
    Huge roar too as Smith Rowe comes on to replace Havertz. A very popular figure here is ESR.
    68'
    SUB
    Off goes Hughes, and on comes Ozoh for Palace.

    SAVE!
    A chance for Palace here as they earner a free-kick on the corner of the Arsenal penalty area.
    Eze will take… and surely go for goal.
    SAVE! Raya parries it over for a corner…
    62'
    BIG BLOCK
    The flag goes up for offside but only after Mitchell makes a big block to deny Jesus. This could get ugly for Palace.
