• Date: Saturday, 04 October 2025

Match Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United

Arsenal's recent form suggests they'll dominate possession and look to exploit West Ham's shaky defence. With wins against Newcastle and Leeds, and a solid draw against Manchester City, Arsenal are in good shape. They'll likely press high and use their wingers to stretch the play, aiming to break down West Ham's backline.

West Ham, on the other hand, have struggled lately, losing three of their last five. Their only win came against Nottingham Forest, but they've been leaky at the back. They might sit deep and try to hit Arsenal on the counter, but it'll be tough against a confident Gunners side.

Arsenal are coming off a strong run, with three wins in their last five games. Their only loss was a narrow defeat to Liverpool away, showing they can compete with the best. This form should give them confidence going into the match against West Ham. Expect them to control the game and create plenty of scoring opportunities.

• Win: 2-1 vs Newcastle United (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Manchester City (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Liverpool (A)

• Win: 5-0 vs Leeds United (H)

West Ham have had a tough time recently, losing three out of their last five matches. Their defence has been particularly vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in those games. They'll need to be more solid at the back if they want to get anything from this game against a strong Arsenal side. It's going to be an uphill battle for them.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Everton (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Nottingham Forest (A)

• Loss: 1-5 vs Chelsea (H)

In their recent encounters, Arsenal have had the upper hand, securing two heavy wins in the last five matches against West Ham. However, West Ham have managed to pull off some surprising victories, including a 1-0 win at Arsenal's ground in February. This adds an element of unpredictability to the upcoming clash.

• Predicted lineup: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Magalhães, Calafiori, Rice, Zubimendi, Ødegaard, Saka, Gyökeres, Eze

With Rice anchoring the midfield and Eze’s creativity in an attacking midfield role, Arsenal should control the game's tempo and create numerous scoring chances.

• Predicted lineup: Areola, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf, Magassa, Bowen, Fernandes, Paquetá, Summerville, Füllkrug

West Ham will rely on Paquetá's midfield presence and Bowen's pace on the counter to try to catch Arsenal off guard.

• Martin Zubimendi vs Lucas Paquetá: This will be a crucial battle in the midfield between Arsenal's dynamic Zubimendi and West Ham's experienced Paquetá.

• Viktor Gyökeres vs Konstantinos Mavropanos: Expect an exciting duel between Arsenal's Gyökeres and West Ham's Mavropanos, who will need to be at his very best.

• Eberechi Eze (Arsenal): Eze’s flair and goal-scoring ability make him a constant threat to West Ham's defence.

• Soungoutou Magassa (West Ham United): Magassa's versatility and work rate in midfield will be vital for West Ham to disrupt Arsenal's rhythm.
