Premier League: West Ham vs Arsenal

West Ham vs Arsenal Betting Tip and Predictions. In the opening match of Round 33 in Premier League, West Ham host city rivals Arsenal. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between West Ham vs Arsenal.

West Ham stand at the 6th position and their main goal this season is to finish the season in Top 5 and play in some European competition next season. Their performance this season is very good and they deserve it, but they will have to show that on the pitch. West Ham United play very good upfront their supporters where they lost only two matches this season in Premier League (7-6-2). Despite the fact that they host on of the best teams in league, home side have already showed this season that they know how to play against strong teams. West Ham beat this season Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City. They even beat Arsenal in the first round 0-2 and they will be fully motivated to do it again and move up on the table. Home team are unbeaten in the last 9 matches in all competition and they scored on each of those games at least one goal per match.

Arsenal stand at the 3rd position with 9 points less than the most surprising team this season Leicester City, but team from London have one match less, so in the case of win they could reduce the difference and get closer to the first position. In order to stay in a race for the title Arsenal have to win this game. After few very bad results in the recent period, visitors have improved their performance and won two games in a row. Interesting fact is that visitors are playing better on away ground, than upfront their supporters. They won the last two games in which they didn’t concede a single goal and they hope that can make another good match and beat city rivals.

West Ham vs Arsenal injuries and suspensions

Home team welcome back Kouyate, who is available after his red card against Crystal Palace last week was rescinded, so they will have full squad available for this game. On the other side, visitors can count on Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini. They both have recovered from an injury and could play on this game. Good news for Arsenal is that their first goalkeeper Cech returned to the squad and should be on the goal line.
