Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Arsenal vs West Ham preview
Arsenal didn’t manage to beat Liverpool in the previous round (1:1). Prior to this game, the Gunners are 2nd as Liverpool beat Burnley (2:0). Arsenal can get back to the top in case they beat the Hammers. The Gunners have lost points quite often for a leader. They haven't managed to win 3 out of the last 8 games, losing twice and ending another game in a draw.
West Ham have been very unstable. They have beaten Tottenham (2:1), Wolverhampton (3:0) and Manchester United (2:0) but suffered a 0:5 defeat by Fulham. They have also suffered a1:5 defeat by Liverpool, but it was in the EFL Cup, so it’s not related directly to their situation in the league. The Hammers are currently 7th. They have a faint chance to struggle for the Champions League qualification zone. But they need to stop losing points to do this.
Arsenal — West Ham head-to-head
Arsenal haven’t lost a Premier League game against West Ham on the last 8 occasions. The Gunners have won 6 of these head-to-head matches, ending the other 2 in a draw. However, the Hammers won their last match against Arsenal. It happened in the League Cup (3:1). Anyway, historically the advantage is on the side of the Gunners.

Arsenal vs West Ham prediction
West Ham are a tough nut to crack, it’s true. However, I believe that Arsenal will be able to beat the Hammers this time. Otherwise, they can let Liverpool go too far. Again, historically the Gunners have been better than West Ham. I guess there’s no reason for this series to end in this game.
I’m pretty sure that Arsenal will win. However, I believe that West Ham will be able to score too. I think this is a good option for our prediction.
