West Ham vs Arsenal Preview: 1st of May, 17:30

 

Exciting London Derby action is on the schedule for Sunday afternoon as West Ham play host the Gunners!

 

West Ham

 

The Hammers now find themselves in a predicament having to choose between the Premier League and the Europa League. West Ham took an unlucky 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening, as Jarrod Bowen`s world-class bicycle kick and Saïd Benrahma long range effort both denied by the woodwork ensured Frankfurt`s first-leg advantage. As a result of their European focus, the Hammers` domestic campaign has taken a few blows from 1-1 draw against Burnley and a 1-0 loss to Chelsea. To their advantage, West Ham have managed to score in all of their Premier League fixtures this season which is certainly a threat to the Gunners. However, seeing that Moyes` eyes a clearly set on European glory, a few players will most likely be rested for Thursday`s trip to Germany and it might prove difficult to keep a confident Arsenal side out of the net on Sunday.

 

Arsenal

 

Arsenal have successfully resumed their Top 4 chase following 3 consecutive Premier League losses. They have recovered from 3 consecutive losses in a confident manner – beating Chelsea 4-2 and Manchester United 3-1, finding themselves in a Top 4 spot. Arsenal have also enjoyed a long resting period with most of the players likely to go into Sunday`s fixture with fresh legs. Bukayo Saka will be the man to watch at the London Stadium as the 20-year-old winger now scored in both of their last 2 Premier League victories. Overall, it looks like the Hammers are focused on the Europa League and Arsenal are going all out for a spot in Top 4, which suggests that the Gunners might walk away with all 3 points on Sunday with their confidence high on the back of crucial victories against 2 “Top 6” sides.

 

Verdict

 

We will likely see a few changes to the Hammers` starting XI on Sunday afternoon. They are certainly dangerous at the London Stadium and could be backed to find the back of the net, but Arsenal have slightly more at stake and their recent form suggest they will edge past the hosts.
