Latest Arsenal vs West Ham team information
Arsenal’s win over Olympiacos was marred by a minor injury to Gabriel – the hero of the Newcastle game – but manager Mikel Arteta is optimistic the Brazilian will recover.
This is all the more important given that Piero Hincapie (groin) is out until after the international break, while Noni Madueke (knee), Kai Havertz (knee) and Gabriel Jesus (cruciate ligament) will all only return at the end of the year.
Bukayo Saka – who scored the second against Olympiacos – is on course to reach 200 Premier League appearances. Only Thierry Henry has scored on his 200th appearance in the competition (in 2005).
For West Ham, Tomas Soucek continues to miss the third and final match due to suspension following his red card against Tottenham. Defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has a stomach problem, leaving open the possibility of his participation.
In addition, coach Nuno Santo still retains the same squad from the draw with Everton. Captain Jarrod Bowen is certainly expected to cause trouble for Arsenal again, after scoring the only goal in West Ham's 1-0 win at the Emirates last season - also his 5th goal against the "Gunners" in all competitions.
Latest expected lineup for Arsenal vs West Ham
Arsenal:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
West Ham United:
Areola; Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Magassa; Bowen, Fernandes, Paqueta, Summerville; Fullkrug
Latest football commentary on Arsenal vs West Ham
It's no coincidence that every trip to St James' Park leaves Arsenal fans worried. After Viktor Gyokeres' penalty was denied and Nick Woltemade opened the scoring last weekend, it looked like Arsenal were in for another dark day against Newcastle.
However, the Gunners made a spectacular comeback. With only 15 minutes left in the match, coach Nicolas Jover showed his sharpness in set pieces, and then Gabriel Magalhaes headed the ball in the 96th minute, sealing a dramatic 2-1 victory.
It was a crucial win with multiple implications – both erasing the Newcastle jinx and capitalising on Liverpool’s loss to Crystal Palace, and taking Arsenal to the top of the table with a win on Saturday, before the defending champions take on Chelsea at 5:30pm.
As Arne Slot's side showed signs of slowing down, Arsenal were buoyed by a 2-0 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League in midweek – their third consecutive win and fifth in their last six games in all competitions.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have lost just four of their last 42 home games, but half of those have come against the same opponents: West Ham. Fans certainly haven't forgotten the last two times the Hammers have visited the Emirates.
True to tradition, West Ham's current squad have won their last two visits to Arsenal, without conceding a goal. They are aiming to become only the second team in Premier League history to beat Arsenal three times in a row at the Emirates – only Man City have done so before, with a run of six games between 2018 and 2023.
However, the confidence of the away team's fans is not high. Before that, a series of 5 defeats in 6 matches in all competitions saw Graham Potter lose his job, making way for Nuno Santo. His debut ended in a 1-1 draw against Everton, when captain Jarrod Bowen equalized after Michael Keane's opener.
West Ham have only 4 points, still in the relegation zone, but the consolation is that all those points have come away from home - where they are in the top 7 teams with the best record this season.
However, West Ham also hold a sad record: the team has lost the most London derbies in the Premier League (134 matches). In the last 11 matches against capital clubs, they lost 8.
