West Ham Preview & Team News
West Ham United, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 1-0 Premier League success versus Fulham. The Hammers sit in 14th place, but they are only three points ahead of the relegation zone. West Ham United has been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in every one of their last six matches. They’ve managed to rack up ten during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 6. The West Ham United manager David Moyes has zero fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this clash with a fully healthy group available to select from.
Arsenal Preview & Team News
Last time out, Arsenal drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with Liverpool. Although they had a 2-0 lead, the Gunners didn’t manage to keep their advantage for the whole 90 minutes. In a total of 5 of the previous six games involving Arsenal, at least three goals have gone in. The overall average number of goals per match during that spell is 3.83, with the number of goals averaged by Arsenal working out to 2.67. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend can be continued here. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has a number of players out of action. Eddie Nketiah (Ankle Injury), Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee Surgery) will not be playing here.
