Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Arsenal vs West Ham

Arsenal

Arsenal ranks first in the English Championship standings and has a comfortable advantage over the closest pursuer before the resumption of the Premier League. Now the Gunners will try to stay in the lead, and for this they definitely cannot lose points in their field.

The World Cup affected the personnel potential of the Londoners, because the team's leading forward Gabriel Jesus was seriously injured at the World Cup. In the coming months, Mikel Arteta will not be able to count on the Brazilian, so already in the match with West Ham he will need to look for alternative options in attack.

West Ham

The Hammers are at the bottom of the English Championship standings and have lost three consecutive Premier League games before going on pause. The head coach of the team, David Moyes, is already under a lot of pressure and if the situation for West Ham does not improve, then the mentor may soon leave his post.

In the new match, West Ham will play number two, but they may well cling to points if they show a reliable and disciplined game in defense, and also manage to manage their chances effectively. The team is in good shape, because during the World Cup they played several test matches.
