West Ham United vs Arsenal preview

West Ham United pulled off a stunning 2-0 win against Newcastle United on Monday, ending their rough patch in style. The Hammers had struggled in recent weeks, suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest and settling for a goalless draw with Everton before the international break. Despite the victory, West Ham remains in a challenging position, sitting 14th in the Premier League with 15 points from their first 12 matches.

Arsenal, on the other hand, continue to impress as they rediscover their form. The Gunners bounced back with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates over the weekend. Building on that momentum, they delivered a masterclass in Europe, thrashing Sporting Lisbon 5-1 to reaffirm their growing confidence and attacking prowess.

While West Ham looks to build on their surprising win, Arsenal is proving they can be consistent contenders. Mikel Arteta’s side has shown resilience and flair, leaving fans optimistic for the season ahead. Meanwhile, West Ham will hope their latest result is the start of a turnaround in what has been a challenging campaign so far.

Probable line ups

West Ham possible starting lineup:

Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson; Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Soler, Summerville; Antonio

Arsenal possible starting lineup:

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Calafiori; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard

Prediction 1X2

Arsenal heads into this clash as the clear favorites, given their excellent recent form. With four wins from their last five matches and the influential Martin Ødegaard back in the lineup, the Gunners look stronger than ever. Their attacking quality and defensive solidity make them a tough team to beat right now.

West Ham, on the other hand, has been inconsistent, managing just two wins in their last five outings. Despite their recent 2-0 victory against Newcastle, they face a huge challenge against an Arsenal side that hammered them 6-0 in their last meeting at the London Stadium.

With Arsenal firing on all cylinders and West Ham struggling for consistency, it’s hard to see this one going any other way. Prediction: Arsenal to win comfortably.

Goals

Recent form suggests we could be in for another high-scoring encounter. Seven of the last nine meetings between these two sides have produced at least three goals, highlighting the attacking quality on display. Arsenal, in particular, has been in free-scoring form, with their last two games featuring over 3 goals, including an emphatic 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon.

West Ham’s defense has shown vulnerabilities, and Arsenal’s potent attack, led by the likes of Martin Ødegaard and company, is likely to exploit that. The Hammers will also look to create chances of their own, especially playing at home, which could lead to an open game.

Given the recent trend of goals in this fixture and both teams’ playing styles, betting on over 2.5 goals seems like a solid choice. Expect an exciting, goal-filled encounter.

Pick: Over 2.5
