Arsenal
Premier League
The two sides have faced each other 12 times in the last five years, with all but one of those encounters being in the English top flight. The Gunners dominated this period, winning seven times and drawing twice, while West Ham won only three times. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was 3.58.
Arsenal team overview
Arsenal have had a great start to the 2025-26 campaign, despite sitting second behind Slot and Co in the standings. The Gunners maintained their 100% record in the Champions League this season by registering a 2:0 win over Olympiakos in midweek. Before that, they came from a goal down to beat Newcastle United in a crucial league fixture at Saint James' Park, thanks to second half goals from Gabriel and Martinelli.
Mikel Arteta’s men are now currently unbeaten in six matches with five wins, and they also have the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League. However, their fans will be concerned that West Ham came to the Emirates last season and walked away with all three points.
Martin Ødegaard has recovered from his shoulder injury, but Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke are still receiving treatment.

West Ham United team overview
West Ham United got off to one of the slowest starts to the 2025-26 Premier League campaign, picking up only three points from their opening games.
The board was unhappy and decided to part ways with head coach Graham Potter two weeks ago. His replacement made an instant impact, with the Hammers travelling to Everton last Monday and leaving with one point.
While the team are still in the relegation zone, facing Arsenal isn't a fixture they will relish, but the fact that two of their last three wins against the Gunners were at this stadium could provide some motivation.
Tomas Soucek is suspended for the visitors, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is doubtful for this weekend’s clash due to illness.

Prediction
Arsenal have been solid defensively in all competitions this season, but stopping this West Ham attack with Bowen is easier said than done. The Hammers have scored in all but one of their last eight meetings with Arsenal, and those matches were always entertaining. I think there will be goals in this game, perhaps ending in a 3-1 Arsenal win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Six of the last eight meetings between Arsenal and West Ham produced over 2.5 goals.
- Six of the last seven games of West Ham ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Arsenal failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last eight home league games.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
