Arsenal vs. West Ham: Preview and betting tips

On Wednesday night Arsenal will welcome fourth-placed West Ham, who have not been doing so well lately, but the same could be said for the Gunners, who would move ahead of their current opponent if they win.

Arsenal have been doing well in recent games, especially against weaker teams, but once they faced Liverpool or Manchester United, they didn’t score a point. The same was the case with Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s charges managed to fix their taste in the last league game, in which they beat Southampton 3-0, which is the fourth home game in which the Gunners did not score.

Moreover, the great news is that Emile Smith Rowe, the author of 5 league goals and 2 assists, should be available again. Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga should be ready as well.

West Ham, after a great series, have fallen out of form somewhat and have only beaten Rapid Vienna in their last 5 games. They have scored one league goal in their last three league games.

In addition, David Moyes’ defence is struggling as Kurt Zouma, Angelo Ogbonna, Ben Johnson, Ryan Fredericks and Aaron Cresswell should be out.

Arsenal have managed to beat West Ham at home in each of their last 6 games and West Ham have only managed to win once in their last 5 away games.

Even the fatigue from the European Cups can be felt, plus several Hammers defenders are out, which could help the goals to fall, but of course especially for Arsenal, from whom three points can be expected.
