Arsenal
West Ham United
Contents
- Competition: Premier League
- Date: Thursday, 28th December 2023
- Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CET
- Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)
A few teams have a good chance to win the Premier League title this season. At the moment, Arsenal are the best with one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa. How well Arsenal is playing best suggests only one defeat in the last ten matches in all competitions. Last weekend, Arsenal played 1-1 on the road against Liverpool. That game was pretty even, so it is no wonder the teams split the points. Now, Arsenal return to their Emirates Stadium, where they will have a good chance to continue with good games, this time versus West Ham.
West Ham have an outstanding season. Their current 6th position is a little higher than most expected. West Ham won three of the last four matches. In the previous game, they won 2-0 at home against Manchester United. Once again, West Ham proved to be one of the best counterattack teams in the competition, so eventually, they took all three points. Now, West Ham will play versus one of the best home teams in the Premier League, so David Moyes' team will need almost a perfect game to take points on Thursday night.
Arsenal vs West Ham pick: Over 2.5 goals
The last four h2h games between Arsenal and West Ham were with at least three goals. Their previous h2h match came in November when West Ham won 3-1 in the EFL Cup 1/8 final. We should expect another high-scoring game on Thursday night.

Arsenal team news
In the previous match, Arsenal's Kai Havertz picked up the fifth yellow card, so he will not play on Thursday. The German played in every league game this season, and his absence could be very significant.
Emile Smith Rowe could start instead of Havertz. Besides suspended Havertz, Arsenal will also be without Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Fabio Vieira.
