West Ham vs. Arsenal Preview

West Ham

The Hammers were in a terrible situation a few weeks ago, but have bounced back. Four wings, one draw, and one loss over the previous six events across all the competitions are a sign that this team slowly begins to utilize its quality in the best possible way.

Beating Fulham on the road last weekend, 0-1, was a victory worth gold, and with those three points, the Hammers stayed above the relegation zone. Compared to all the other rivals, they have a game in hand which is a big deal in the current position.

They didn’t allow a goal in three of the past five home events, though, suffering a defeat against Newcastle, 1-5, in the most recent clash.

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has to wake up his guys and prevent them from losing their ground like in the other 45 minutes against Liverpool. Arsenal wasted a 0-2 lead at Anfield, having one hand on the Premier League title, before allowing two goals and walking away with just one point.

The defense showed plenty of weakness, conceding in the fourth consecutive event, which wasn’t the case in the past. Arsenal had the best backline in the league for the majority of the campaign, and Arteta can’t allow its collapse in the crucial moment of the season.

Arsenal’s games on the road are efficient, with four of the past five seeing over 2.5 goals, three four or more.
