West Ham United vs Arsenal – Match preview and team news
West Ham United vs Arsenal – Match preview and team news The Premier League title race reaches a critical junction on Sunday afternoon as Arsenal travel to the London Stadium to face a West Ham United side fighting for top-flight survival. Mikel Arteta’s side currently sit just two points clear of Manchester City after the Sky Blues brushed aside Brentford 3–0 on Saturday. Victory today would put the Gunners in a commanding position with only two matches remaining in their domestic campaign.
The visitors arrive in East London on a high after securing a place in the Champions League final by defeating Atletico Madrid in midweek. West Ham United find themselves in a desperate fight for survival following a heavy 3–0 defeat at Brentford last weekend. That result dealt the Hammers’ survival hopes a major blow, leaving them sitting in the relegation zone.
Staring down the barrel of their first drop since 2011, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men are in urgent need of a positive result. While they have struggled in recent derbies, the hosts are unbeaten in their last six league matches at the London Stadium. Arsenal have enjoyed their recent visits to this venue, winning 6–0 and 5–2 in their last two trips.
