West Ham v Arsenal Betting Tips: Gunners to score a hammer blow?

Preview and odds ahead of Premier League clash

West Ham United entertain Arsenal at the London Stadium at lunchtime hoping to bag only a second victory against a ‘top six’ club this campaign.

The Irons beat Manchester United in September but a win over Arsenal would feel like a real significant step.

The Gunners have had a solid first half to this term and are still on the coat-tails of Chelsea in fourth-spot.

Doing the double over West Ham this season would be a good catapult to a productive second half of the season.

Head-to-Head

Arsenal came from one-nil down at the Emirates Stadium to win 3-1 in August. But it looks like the Gunners will be without both scorers that day. Nacho Monreal and Danny Welbeck miss out through injury.

West Ham are on a run of seven games without a win over their London rivals. The last time they scored a victory was in 2015.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate notched a goal apiece in a 2-0 away win.

But that has been their only success over the North Londoners since 2007.

Likely XIs

A midfield duo of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka will try to nullify the threat of Felipe Anderson and Robert Snodgrass. Mesut Ozil could also return to Arsenal’s starting eleven.

There could be a familiar face for Arsenal fans in the West Ham side today. Samir Nasri has signed a six-month deal for the Hammers and could feature.
