Arsenal to Boost Title Chances with Win at London Rivals
8757

There are two fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on Sunday the 16th of April including the meeting between West Ham United and Arsenal.

The game will be played at the London Stadium and the hosts are currently 14th in the table on 30 points while the visitors are top of the league on 73 points.

West Ham come into the match having recorded a good 1-0 win at Fulham in their most recent Premier League fixture last weekend.

The Hammers scored the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute and defended well to keep Fulham at bay for the remainder of the match to clinch a vital 3 points.

It was important for West Ham to bounce back at Fulham following the hugely disappointing 5-1 defeat at home against Newcastle United in their previous Premier League fixture. West Ham were shocking defensively in that game and need to improve if they are going to take anything from this match.

Trends show West Ham are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. There have been wins over Southampton and Fulham in the Premier League plus AEK Larnaca home and away in the Europa Conference League.

West Ham are unbeaten in 6 of their 7 most recent home matches in all competitions and in 5 of their last 6 games in the Premier League.

Arsenal make the short trip to the London Stadium having taken a point last weekend in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool.

It was a great game to watch and Arsenal were excellent in the first half, scoring 2 goals inside the first 30 minutes but conceding a goal shortly before half time. Liverpool were better in the second half and scored the equaliser in the 87th minute to take a point.

The draw at Liverpool means Arsenal are undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions inside 90 minutes.

The only game that ended in disappointment was the 1-1 draw at home with Sporting Lisbon as the Portuguese club won via a penalty shootout to progress in the Europa League.

Form in the Premier League shows Arsenal are undefeated in their 8 most recent games and they have won 7 of those matches.

The Gunners are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 away league fixtures and have scored 2 or more goals in 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches on the road.

Team news and West Ham are without striker Gianluca Scamacca and have doubts over the fitness of Lucas Paquetá.

Arsenal are without injured fullback Takehiro Tomiyasu but are hopeful William Saliba,

Eddie Nketiah, and Mohamed Elneny will be available.

West Ham picked up a confidence boosting win at Fulham in the Premier League last weekend but Arsenal are a completely different test. The Gunners are pushing for the title and their attacking play could be too much for West Ham to manage.

We expect Arsenal to win this game, with both teams scoring and over 3.5 goals in total.
