West Ham United vs Arsenal 16.04.2023

Match Overview

If there is any team that can stop the Arsenal juggernaut and prevent them from cruising towards the Premier League title for the first time in 19 years, it is their London rivals West Ham United. Managed by the effervescent Scotsman David Moyes, they can play party poopers to their cross-town opponents, despite them being miles beneath them in the league table at the time of writing.

Key Highlights

Arsenal's former captain and current manager Mikel Arteta will be pleased by the fact that his side decimated West Ham when the two teams met earlier in the season in October. Goals from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah provided the three points for the Gunners whereas the Hammers were served by a sole Said Benhrama penalty. Playing at the London Stadium on Sunday, West Ham will be looking to turn things around.

Injury Report

Gianluca Scamacca has been ruled out until the end of the month for West Ham while Lucas Pacqueta is a doubtful starter for this London derby. For Arsenal, William Saliba, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah will most probably be missing in action. Takehiro Tomiyasu has been ruled out until the end of May.

Prediction

We predict both teams to get on the scoresheet in this game (BTTS). While Arsenal have the edge in this match, the London Stadium is a challenging place for visiting sides to go and play at. The vociferous crowd gets behind their home team and makes sure that the visitors have a tough time out in the middle. And one can expect the chants to be louder given that it is going to be the London derby on Sunday!
