Match Overview
A London derby will be on the cards when Arsenal take on West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium on 28 December. The home team, who have led the league table for most of the season, will want to put up a display of strong and committed football to ensure that their visitors do not get a chance to stand tall. Arsenal will have an edge.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of 27 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which the home team have won 19. West Ham have been victorious on four occasions while the rest of the four matches were played out as drawn encounters between the two teams. West Ham manager David Moyes will desperately want to succeed here.
Injury Report
West Ham will be sweating over the fitness of Michail Antonio whereas for Arsenal, Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber and Jorginho are among some of the players who are not available for selection in this game.
Prediction
Neither Arsenal nor West Ham United appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. Although Arsenal have the advantage of playing in familiar conditions, we expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. When these two teams met earlier this year in November, in the EFL Cup, West Ham beat Arsenal by a 3-1 scoreline.
