    FT: West Ham 2-5 Arsenal. Gabriel broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the game from Saka's cross, who also set up Trossard for the second goal before the half-hour mark. The English winger won a penalty following a foul from Paqueta, but left it for skipper Martin Odeegard to send it past Fabianski. Havertz made it 0-4 just a minute later, but goals from Wan Bissaka and Emerson within four minutes gave the hosts a bit of hope. Saka took it upon himself to seal the match with a 2nd penalty.

  • PRVW
    We are so close to kick off!!!
  • PRVW
    Less than half an hour to gooooooooo, who's ready to see the Gunners and the Hammers in action???!!!
  • PRVW
    The Gunners have confirmed that Partey (knee issue) and Merino (muscle issue) are both out of the squad due to injury!!
  • PRVW
    Arteta has made changes to the line up that beat Sporting 5-1 in Lisbon on Tuesday. Jorginho and Leandro Trossard start from kick off instead of Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli!!
  • PRVW
    Here's how Arsenal line up (4-3-3): Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.
  • PRVW
    Here's how West Ham line up (4-2-3-1): Fabianski (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Soler, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Antonio.
  • PRVW
    Starting XIs are outtttttttt!!!!!
  • PRVW
    Official lineups will be dropping sooooooooooooon. Any predictions?
  • PRVW
    Here's how Arsenal could line up (4-3-3): Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
  • PRVW
    Here's how West Ham could line up (4-2-3-1): Fabianski (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Rodriguez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Antonio.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled lets have a look at the possible lineupsssssssssssss!!!!
  • PRVW
    For the visitors, no fresh concerns from their recent duel in Lisbon midweek as Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are the only injury absentees. Arteta said earlier this week that Tomiyasu "is going to be out for a bit", meanwhile the English defender is expected to be out until 2025 after sustaining a surgical procedure to his knee.
  • PRVW
    The Hammers have been spared from injury woes ahead of the clash, as Niclas Fullkrug is the only absentee due to an Achilles issue.
  • PRVW
    For the hosts, Lopetegui will be forced to watch from the game from the stands due to a one-game suspension. Mohammed Kudus is also suspended as he continues to serve his sanction for his violent conduct against Tottenham, while Edson Alvarez returned after completing his own two-game suspension.
  • PRVW
    Lets have a look at team news before we head to possible lineups!!!
  • PRVW
    From their 145 meetings in total, Arsenal won 70, West Ham won 35 and 40 ended up in draws.
  • PRVW
    The last five encounters between the two sides have been overall very even. West Ham were victorious twice: 3-1 at home in November 2023 and 0-2 away in December 2023. Meanwhile, Arsenal claimed a 3-1 victory in December 2022 and thrashed today's opponents 0-6 last February. Two wins a piece leaves us with a 2-2 draw in April 2023.
  • PRVW
    With his place reportedly at risk - just months after he replaced David Moyes - Lopetegui will try his best to trouble the Gunners on home soil.
  • PRVW
    The east London club find themselves in 14th position with 15 points - 6 safe from the relegation zone and 7 from the European places.
  • PRVW
    West Ham have only won four times this season, but their last two victories have come against relatively stronger opponents in Man United and Newcastle, whom they beated last week.
  • PRVW
    West Ham could be Arsenal's chance to get a third consecutive win and while Lopetegui's side has struggled this season, the visitors must still be wary of their opponents.
  • PRVW
    "The focus is on us, maintaining the consistency, especially in performances, that will give us the right to win a lot of games... this is a long run," Artea said during his press conference on Friday.
  • PRVW
    A win against the Hammers will take Arsenal to 25 points - crucial in order to keep their title hopes alive. The north London side are currently 5th - level on points with Chelsea, who are ahead on goal difference - with 9 points separating them from league leaders Liverpool.
  • PRVW
    Before these two games Arteta's men were winless in three consecutive games, losing against Newcastle and Inter away by 1-0 in both occasions and drawing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (1-1).
  • PRVW
    The Gunners seem to have put their poor run behind them with two convincing victories within one week: a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the league and a 1-5 thrashing of Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League midweek.
