Arsenal v West Ham Predictions
With the football calendar now pivoting back to the Premier League, leaders Arsenal will aim to pick up from where they left off. Not only that, but they can temporarily increase the pressure on Manchester City at the same time.
As Pep Guardiola’s men are not back in action until Wednesday evening, the Gunners have the perfect opportunity to extend their lead at the top. It is five points before the start of Boxing Day, it could be eight by the end.
It could be eight, on the previous form of their upcoming opponents it should be eight. With West Ham making the short journey across the capital, David Moyes’ men will look to end a run of three successive league defeats.
While it is a run that sees the Hammers resume their campaign lying just a point clear of the bottom three. If results go against them across the Boxing Day schedule, the relegation zone will be ready to welcome them.
Considering the upward trajectory that has taken place in E20 over the past couple of years, there has been a notable decline in domestic performance since the start of this season and suddenly pressure is beginning to mount on the manager’s shoulders.
Pressure that can only be alleviated if wins can be gained in regular supply and if the East London outfit starts the second part of the schedule as cold as they ended the first, swift decisions may soon need to be made.

That conjecture is still a few weeks away and now it is Arsenal who will look to continue further misery for a team that has struggled in front of goal. Especially as they have managed to keep clean sheets in their last three outings.
The discussion regarding their soft underbelly is no more, now the red half of North London is displaying steel in defence. With every win, this unit grows in confidence. With every win, this confidence exudes throughout the rest of the squad.
A squad that will be without the presence of Gabriel Jesus, as the Brazilian suffered an injury at the World Cup. They may not necessarily miss his goals, but the club will certainly miss his experience when it comes to topping the table.
With that in mind, our latest bet builder is now up for grabs, and it looks like this:
- Arsenal win
- Eddie Nketiah to score anytime
- Under 3 total goals

For my latest bet builder offering, the spotlight is being shown on Eddie Nketiah, as the Arsenal forward looks to fill the void that will be left by Gabriel Jesus’ injury. If he can fill that void with a goal, the Gunners will be well on their way to victory.
If Nketiah does score, I am only asking for one more to be scored on Boxing Day and when you add the home win, a 2-0 result is the logical conclusion. That correct score pick only pays 7/1 by comparison, this latest construction is beefed up to 10/1 instead.
