Arsenal vs West Ham prediction, odds and betting offer

Arsenal will be looking to build on their makeshift attacking line-up while West Ham fans will be hoping Graham Potter finds some more answers to their side's form

by · The Mirror

This weekend Arsenal will go head-to-head with West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners are gearing up to crank up the heat on Liverpool, who are currently leading the Premier League. The hosts currently sit eight points behind the leaders but have a game-in-hand over the Reds which could be cut down to five at the end of the weekend as the title race enters the business end of the season.

Liverpool's grip on first place slipped a bit when they had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa this past Wednesday night and this stumble has given Arsenal a golden opportunity to make headway in the fight for the title. The Gunners will be looking towards Mikel Merino to continue being the answer to Mikel Arteta's striker crisis having scored a brace at Leicester City last weekend with Kai Havertz ruled out of the season.

Meanwhile, West Ham is still finding their footing under the new management of Graham Potter while their position remains precarious and they might even be on the brink of being pulled into the relegation skirmish. Despite losses to Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Brentford, the Irons have showed positive strides forward since sacking Julen Lopetegui.
