Arsenal travel across London to face West Ham in a critical match for both sides. The Gunners are three wins away from their first Premier League title in more than two decades. The Hammers slipped a point behind Tottenham last weekend and into the final relegation spot ā theyāre fighting for a place in the Premier League next season.
Of Arsenalās three remaining matches, this is the trickiest one on paper. West Ham are desperate and will be looking to claim all three points. A draw, while helpful, might not be helpful enough. The Hammers needing to win today probably helps the Gunners a little bit. You fancy Arsenalās chances more against a more open West Ham side than against one looking to muck it up for a draw.
Not that either should be an impediment. The Premier League title is so close. Itās time for Arsenal to dig deep, as theyāve done countless times under Mikel Arteta, and find a way to get it done. Three wins between them and the PL glory that has been agonizingly close for the last few years (and four wins between them and a season that will go down in club history).
Nuno Espirito Santo has done a tremendous job in the back half of the season, taking West Ham from what looked like certain relegation to a neck-and-neck battle with Tottenham for safety. His side are unbeaten in six straight home matches, tied for their longest run since moving to the London Stadium in 2012.
The Hammers have taken points off the Gunners at times in the last few years. Those matches rank pretty highly on the āhelped cost Arsenal the leagueā scale of results in those seasons. They beat Arsenal at the Emirates last season and three seasons ago. Oddly enough, West Ham have struggled at home against Arsenal, stumbling to a 1-5-11 record in the last 17 league contests on their ground. The Hammers usually find a way to score, though. Arsenal have only kept two clean sheets in their last 13 PL away games against West Ham. has often been a part of that, the England attacker has scored in five straight seasons against the Gunners. He didnāt score in the match at the Emirates in the fall, 2-0 to Arsenal.
scored the opener against his former club in October and added a second from the penalty spot. The Arsenal winger, who looks rejuvenated since missing several matches to heal from a nagging injury, has racked up 5G, 4A in his last eight against West Ham, including 4G and 2A in his last three.
Look for Saka to potentially add to that assist total from corners today. West Ham have conceded 15 goals from corners this season, the most in the Premier League. Arsenalās set piece goals have dried up a bit lately, perhaps in part because Saka hasnāt been available to fizz the ball in from the right side, but theyāve still scored the most in the PL from corners (17).
Arsenal are without and , neither of whom sound imminently close to returning. At this point, the Champions League final might be both of their best chances of returning to the matchday squad. They might also both be done for the season. Former Arsenal goalkeeper is out for the Hammers with a back problem.
