Arsenal will be aiming to maintain their winning momentum when they welcome West Ham United to the Emirates for a London derby. The Gunners come into this clash buoyed by a late comeback victory at Newcastle and a midweek Champions League success over Olympiacos. The win over the Magpies has put Arsenal within touching distance of league leaders Liverpool.
Their opponents, West Ham, arrive under new management, with Nuno Espirito Santo replacing Graham Potter after a dismal run of form. The Hammers managed to secure a valuable draw against Everton in their most recent outing. However, they have remarkably won in their last two visits to the Emirates without conceding a goal.

While the Gunners look like genuine title contenders once again, West Ham will be desperate to prove they can upset the odds. For Arsenal, Wednesday’s Champions League win highlighted their strong run of form across competitions. It showed that momentum is building at the right time for Arteta’s men.
On the other had, the Hammers have suffered five defeats in their last six across competitions, leaving them inside the relegation zone. Arsenal’s attacking depth, combined with the defensive frailties that have plagued West Ham, make the Gunners strong favorites to extend their winning streak here. Yet, with Santo’s men carrying a reputation for stubbornness in this fixture, the Gunners will need to avoid complacency if they are to get the job done.

Under 3.5 Goals looks like a strong play given the recent form of both teams. Arsenal are grinding out results with defensive solidity, having conceded just twice in their last four matches across all competitions. Their games against Olympiakos, Newcastle, Port Vale and Manchester City all passed this line.
West Ham, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency in attack. They have scored just twice in their last three Premier League fixtures combined, including a goalless showing against Spurs. With Nuno Espirito Santo still finding his feet, this game is unlikely to produce a high-scoring shootout.
After a slow start to the campaign, Viktor Gyokeres has hit his stride, netting three goals in six matches. The Swedish striker looks increasingly confident and sharp in front of goal, making him a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet here.

Arsenal were made to work harder than expected in their Champions League win over Olympiacos. If Mikel Arteta’s men produce a similar level of attacking play this weekend, they should be able to win easily. West Ham, under Nuno Espirito Santo, are still searching for their first win. While they may pose a threat on the break, the Gunners’ quality should prove decisive in a narrow home victory.
