Head-to-Head
- The return of Declan Rice to the Emirates will add spice to this London Premier League showdown, but West Ham will have their hands full in this fixture regardless of the midfield battle between their former captain and his current boss.
- His team are adept at creating numerical superiority in the central areas by pressing high and forcing the ball wide, or by interchanging their positions to overload the middle third and break lines when in possession.
- Nuno Espírito Santo is a much more pragmatic coach who looks to be setting up a compact 4-2-3-1 that is not over-committed in attack.
- They are set up to defend well and spring forward on the break, so this should be a fascinating tactical battle between the team that dominates territory and the one that sets up to counter attack. The Arsenal vs West Ham prediction will depend on which side can capitalize on transitions and execute their game plan more effectively.
- The last of these victories came seven months ago in the Premier League 2024/2025 season when they beat Arsenal 1-0 at Arsenal.
