Arsenal - WWWWLW
Arsenal, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 0-2 Premier League triumph against Leicester City.
In that game, Arsenal had 60% possession and 11 shots at goal with 5 on target. The only player to score for Arsenal was Mikel Merino (81', 87'). At the other end, Leicester City had 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target.
Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Arsenal defence. Arsenal have been miserly, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their last six clashes standing at 4.
A look at their previous results shows us that Arsenal:
haven't lost in the league to West Ham United in their last 2 games.
are undefeated in their previous 15 home league matches. What a fantastic run.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee surgery), Gabriel Martinelli (Hamstring injury), Bukayo Saka (Hamstring injury), Kai Havertz (Hamstring injury) and Gabriel Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be taking part for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
We are thinking that The Gunners may well use a 4-3-3 formation for this one with David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling.
West Ham United - LWLDLL
Since tasting defeat last time out to Brentford in Premier League action, West Ham United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, West Ham United had 59% possession and 13 shots on goal with 3 on target. Brentford got 14 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Kevin Schade (4') scored for Brentford.
Looking at their form, and West Ham United have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 10 goals in total. At the back, West Ham United have not been doing too well. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if such a trend will persist here in this match.
Heading into this contest, West Ham United have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.
West Ham United manager Graham Potter has to choose a team with limited availability. Michail Antonio (Broken leg), Vladimír Coufal (Hamstring strain), Crysencio Summerville (Thigh problems) and Niclas Füllkrug (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We reckon that The Hammers seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Alphonse Areola, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Kilman, K. Mavropanos, Emerson, Edson Álvarez, Tomáš Souček, Jarrod Bowen, Carlos Soler, Mohammed Kudus and Evan Ferguson.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Ward-Prowse, Alvarez; Bowen, Soler, Kudus; Ferguson
Arsenal vs West Ham United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Arsenal have won a total of 37 matches against West Ham United in the Premier League - they have secured more victories only against Everton in the history of the competition.
West Ham United won this exact fixture by a 2-0 scoreline last season and have not won consecutive away games against Arsenal in the Premier League since the 2006-07 season.
Arsenal have scored at least five goals in each of their last two matches against West Ham United in the Premier League and could become only the second team after Liverpool to achieve the feat in three consecutive games against a single opponent in the competition.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 West Ham United
Another glut of goals against the Hammers is surely off the table for a striker-starved Arsenal, but chance creation should not be a problem for the Gunners with the electrifying Ethan Nwaneri in his current form. As Arteta's men are squaring up a confidence-depleted West Ham side without a single clean sheet in 2025, we have complete faith in the hosts to close the gap on Liverpool and ramp up the pressure on the Reds before Sunday's blockbuster with Man City.
