Football Predictions
League leaders Arsenal visits West Ham at the London Stadium in their bid to continue their title charge. After dropping 2 precious points against Liverpool last weekend, leaving them with only a 6-point gap above Man City with an outstanding game, and still yet to face Arsenal, this game is a must-win.
West Ham are struggling to fight off relegation, as they are just 3 points off the bottom 3. Things haven’t been all rosy for West Ham, and after a 1-1 draw vs. Gent in the Europa Conference league, can they get a win or a point against Arsenal? Here are our thoughts on this game and some other interesting bet options.

Team news
Arsenal is expected to go with the same players that played against Liverpool. Elneny, Nketiah, Saliba, and Tomiyasu remain sidelined due to injury.
For West Ham, Antonio didn’t start their Europa Conference League match and might be a doubt for this game. However, Scamacca is still injured and should miss this match.
Verdict
This is a must-win game for Arsenal. They almost won their last game against Liverpool at Anfield, but they threw away a 2-goal lead against a motivated Liverpool. Arsenal knows that even a draw in this match is not an option if they want to lift the EPL trophy.
West Ham are also fighting off relegation, but they have been underperforming against top teams in the league this season. Also, they played on Thursday (Europa Conference League) against Gent, which means fatigue would be a huge factor in this game.
We are backing Arsenal to win this game.
