Danny Gabbidon insists West Ham United can go into their FA Cup tie with Arsenal full of confidence.

Despite the gulf in their standings on the Premiership table, Wales defender says the one-off Cup tie gives the Hammers a great chance of an upset.

He told whufc.com: "We were obviously hoping we'd get an easier team, but it's a good game. Arsenal are a top quality team, and to win the cup you have to knock the best teams out, so why not start straight away with Arsenal?

"It's a one-off game, so we go out there and we'll try our best and you never know what could happen. That's what the cup is all about so we're looking forward to it."
