Matchday 7 brings us to north London as Arsenal host West Ham at the Emirates. Over 60,000 fans will pack in for this one, and it feels like a real test for both sides.
Arsenal are buzzing after a late win over Newcastle, while West Ham are still searching for consistency under Nuno Espírito Santo. Both teams know how to make this fixture lively – just look at the goals in their recent meetings. So, who takes control this time? Let’s dig in.
Mikel Arteta has a few problems to juggle. Martin Ødegaard (shoulder), Kai Havertz (knee), Noni Madueke (knee), and Gabriel Jesus (cruciate ligament) are all out. That’s a big chunk of creativity and firepower missing.
Even so, Arsenal’s squad is stacked. Expect David Raya in goal, Gabriel anchoring the defense, and plenty of drive in midfield. Up front, there’s still enough pace and goals to trouble anyone. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last four league games at home – that tells you the Emirates is becoming a fortress again.
The Hammers also bring injury worries. Niclas Füllkrug (muscle) and Luis Guilherme (shoulder) are ruled out. But Bowen, Paquetá, and Wilson are fit, and that front three can hurt teams if they’re given space.
West Ham drew 1-1 with Everton last weekend, with Bowen grabbing their goal. The good news for them? They’re unbeaten in their last two away league matches. The bad news? They’ve won just once in ten on the road overall.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Merino; Saka, Smith Rowe, Martinelli; Nketiah
West Ham: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Alvarez, Soucek; Bowen, Paquetá, Kudus; Wilson
Arsenal average over two a game at home, while West Ham concede nearly two per match on their travels. That combination usually means action.
A few angles worth a look:
Arsenal will dominate the ball, push West Ham deep, and create plenty of chances. The Hammers might threaten on the break – Bowen and Paquetá are dangerous – but over 90 minutes, Arsenal’s quality should tell.
Match Prediction: Arsenal to win. Bet with bet365.
I’m leaning towards a 2-1 Arsenal win. Enough chances for Arsenal to score a couple, but West Ham have enough in attack to sneak one.
Correct Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 West Ham. Bet with bet365.
The numbers point to goals here. In their last six meetings, these two have produced 24 goals – that’s four a game on average. Arsenal’s attack is firing, West Ham concede often, and both teams like to play on the front foot.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s an Arsenal vs West Ham combo that makes sense:
