Arsenal feeling the pressure as efforts wasted and defender injured 😅 Gunners fans, we know you're watching this match with your hearts in your throats. Arsenal travel to West Ham with both sides needing a victory for their respective quests. The visitors are hoping to keep the Premier League title in their control, while the hosts eye a chance to move out of the relegation zone.

And so far it's been all Arsenal, with the league leaders falling short three times in the opening 20 minutes. First, it was Leandro Trossard whose header hit the post, and the subsequent scramble in front of the goal fell short. Then, Ricardo Calafiori was the man in the centre of the madness with three chances wasted.

Later, another chance saw the ball free from only a few yards out, but nobody capitalized. To make matters even worse, Mikel Arteta was forced into an early substitution as Ben White was taken off with a knee injury just before the half-hour mark. The Champions League final and the World Cup are both lingering.

Nerves all around!
