Arsenal are highly favoured to claim a win against West Ham, whom they face this coming Sunday. In their current shape, a win at London Stadium seems to be the obvious outcome.

The Gunners enjoy the view from the top of the table with 73 points after 30 league matches this season. Meanwhile, West Ham find themselves positioned as number 14 in the Premier League with 30 points following 29 rounds.

Although West Ham trail after The Gunners by double digits, beating the league leaders in the Premier League still holds a lot of prestige.

West Ham scored 12 goals, conceded 14 and fought their way to four clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Arsenal average of 2.7 goals per game, scoring 27 goals in their past ten matches. They conceded 12 goals in total, or an average of 1.2 per game, achieving three clean sheets as well.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 3-1 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Sunday.
