Arsenal v West Ham Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Arsenal lock horns with West Ham on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates, and it is a crunch match for both teams for contrasting reasons.
The Gunners are mounting another title challenge, while West Ham appear mired in trouble in the bottom three, but are likely to be boosted by the recent arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo after Graham Potter's departure at the weekend.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of the game in the capital on Saturday.
Arsenal v West Ham Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game.
Tip 1: Arsenal to win and BTTS
Mikel Arteta’s charges passed a serious test at Newcastle last weekend, quashing suggestions they don’t have the mettle in the big games.
Despite trailing for 50 minutes, the Gunners turned things around in dramatic fashion. Gabriel’s bullet header from a corner was timed at 95 mins 45 secs, representing Arsenal’s second-latest winning goal in a Premier League game on record since 2003/04.
Although the Gunners haven’t always been at their swashbuckling best, only Manchester City (14) have scored more goals than them this term. Moreover, Eberechi Eze has shown some promising signs, and he gives Arsenal plenty of zip going forward.
West Ham, on the other hand, look susceptible, and no team in the Premier League has scored more from corners than Arsenal since the start of the 2023/24 campaign (36). While the Gunners may have come unstuck against West Ham in their past two league outings at the Emirates, I expect Arsenal to set the record straight and come out on top in this clash.
Tip 2: West Ham to Pick up a Red Card
The referees have been a bit more card-happy this term, with 50 yellow cards brandished on Matchday 6, more than any of the previous five rounds of games.
Last season, the Hammers received 78 yellow cards, and they had three dismissals. This term, Tomas Soucek took an early bath after he was sent off for a wild lunge on Joao Paulinha, which acted as the catalyst for the Hammers’ 3-0 capitulation at home to Tottenham.
Although the Gunners have a notoriously poor disciplinary record, meetings with West Ham are rarely quiet affairs. I fear West Ham could lose their heads and see a red mist descend on them which could make things tough going.
Tip 3: Arsenal to win 4-1
With Liverpool hitting the first significant bump on the road under Arne Slot with two defeats on the spin in all competitions, now is the time for Arsenal to capitalise.
Santo, meanwhile, may have seen some green shoots of recovery against Everton, but West Ham have a soft centre, and they get rolled over quite easily. Against fellow London sides this term, the Hammers have lost all three matches with an aggregate score of 10-2.
Arsenal can be unstoppable in full flow, and Arteta’s men will want to put on a display for the fans. A statement win could be on the cards for the Gunners which would send a serious message to Liverpool.
