West Ham United vs Arsenal Betting Tips: Arsenal to Win
As they approach Sunday’s match against their city rivals, David Moyes and his team are burdened with their recent string of disappointing results. Remarkably, they have failed to secure a win in their first six competitive matches since the beginning of the new year. This includes a frustrating 0-1 defeat to Championship team Bristol City, which resulted in their early exit from the FA Cup third-round replay.
After the devastating setback, the East London fans were disheartened as their favorite club could only accumulate a meager two points out of a possible nine in the next three EPL matches. They had to settle for draws against the bottom-ranked Sheffield United (2-2) and the middling Bournemouth (1-1), before being completely defeated 0-3 at Old Trafford by the Red Devils in their most recent match.
The Hammers have fallen to seventh place in the league standings after failing to secure maximum points in four consecutive top-tier matches. Their chances of finishing within the European places have notably decreased due to a seven-point deficit behind Tottenham, who are in fifth place and hold the last UEFA qualification spot.
Interestingly, West Ham’s quick decline in form started after their impressive 2-0 victory against Arsenal, who were chasing the title, at the Emirates Stadium just before Christmas. However, coming back to their home ground provides encouragement for Moyes’ team, as they haven’t been defeated in the last six Premier League games played in front of their fervent supporters.
Arsenal is filled with confidence ahead of their visit to their London rivals on Sunday. They invigorated the Premier League title race last weekend by decisively defeating a lackluster Liverpool 3-1 on their home turf, narrowing their distance from the top of the table to just two points. They are now level on points with Manchester City, but have played one more game.
Following a challenging period of poor performance from December to early January, in which the Gunners managed only one victory in seven matches across all competitions, they have successfully turned things around. They have bounced back strongly, securing three consecutive wins.
Even though Mikel Arteta’s men faltered in losses during both London face-offs this season, the current state of West Ham indicates that they will struggle to engineer another upset against their metropolitan adversary, particularly with the revitalized Arsenal, affirming their credentials as genuine contenders for the title, showing no mercy and ready to offer a harsh reply to Moyes’ squad.

West Ham United team news
West Ham don’t have many concerns about missing players ahead of the London derby, with Michail Antonio the only confirmed unavailable as he is still not fully ready to make a comeback, despite returning to team training.
Key cog Lucas Paquet remains sidelined for at least another two weeks as he is yet to heal from a calf injury, while first-choice shot-stopper Alphonse Areola is a question mark after being taken off early in the second half of the 3-0 defeat by Man United.

Arsenal team news
When it comes to the North London giants, they face a much tougher personnel picture, as long-term absentee Jurrien Timber, midfield duo Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira, as well as Gabriel Jesus all miss the upcoming league action due to their various injury problems.
Despite coming off during the second half of last week’s impressive 3-1 win over Liverpool, key duo Oleksandr Zinchenko and Bukayo Saka are expected to be available for Sunday’s trip to West Ham.
