West Ham vs. Arsenal: Visitors Under intense Pressure

Arsenal’s Dominance in London Derbies Continues

1 week ago 0 19

West Ham host Arsenal at the London Stadium this weekend, with both teams aiming for crucial points. While the Hammers are looking to distance themselves further from the relegation zone, the Gunners are desperate to keep their title hopes alive.

West Ham: Finding Defensive Stability but Struggling Against Top Teams

Goals from Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka helped West Ham secure their first Premier League away win since August, beating Newcastle to gain some breathing room above the relegation zone. Despite this, manager Julen Lopetegui remains under pressure, as Hammers fans expect more than just staying clear of the drop zone.

At home, West Ham have taken seven points from their last nine available, but they’ve lost all five matches this season against top-eight teams. While they kept clean sheets in their last two matches, this followed an alarming streak of conceding in 26 consecutive Premier League games.

Arsenal: A Strong Record in London Derbies

Heading into Saturday’s clash, The Gunners can draw confidence from their remarkable record in London derbies. The Gunners have avoided defeat in 24 of their last 26 capital clashes and have lost just one of their last 16 away games against West Ham in the Premier League.

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended in a 6-0 Arsenal victory, further underscoring their dominance. However, Thew Gunners will be without Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries, while Gabriel remains doubtful.
