Several teams stand a good chance of clinching the Premier League title this season. Currently, Arsenal is leading the pack, sitting one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa. Their superior performance is evident, with only one loss in their last ten matches across all competitions. Their recent match against Liverpool on the latter’s turf ended in a 1-1 draw, a fair result given the evenly matched performance. Arsenal now heads back to their home ground, Emirates Stadium, where they are likely to maintain their good form in their upcoming match against West Ham.
West Ham is enjoying a remarkable season, currently sitting in an unexpectedly high 6th position. They’ve triumphed in their last three out of four matches, with a notable 2-0 victory over Manchester United in their most recent home game. Their proficient counterattacking strategy has continually demonstrated West Ham to be a formidable contender in the league, leading them to secure all three points. However, they face a significant challenge as they prepare to confront one of the Premier League’s top home teams. For David Moyes’ squad to secure points this coming Thursday night, they’ll need to deliver a near-flawless performance.
Arsenal vs West Ham pick: Over 2.5 goals
The previous four head-to-head games between Arsenal and West Ham all had a minimum of three goals. West Ham emerged victorious with a 3-1 score in their last face-off in November in the EFL Cup 1/8 final. A high-scoring game can be anticipated on Thursday night.
