Saturday’s Premier League action brings us a crucial clash in the nation’s capital, as Arsenal and West Ham United prepare to lock horns in a London Derby laden with legacy and consequence. The Gunners are in second place in the league standings, while the Hammers are second-bottom after six games this season. Check out our match prediction below!
Last term, Arsenal spent a total of 57 days at the top of the Premier League table but ultimately ended up settling for second place for the third season in a row. After Liverpool dropped points last week, Mikel Arteta’s side enter this match with the opportunity to return to the summit of the English top flight for the first time this season - even if it is for only a couple of hours.
Standing in their way, though, is West Ham, who now have Nuno Espirito Santo at the helm and are coming off a much-improved showing against Everton last week. The Hammers were one of only two teams to leave the Emirates with three points in each of the last two top-flight seasons. But can they defy the odds for a third time in a row? Let’s get into the key stats!

Arsenal - West Ham: Form Analysis
Arsenal will step into this match brimming with confidence after maintaining a perfect start to their Champions League campaign by beating Olympiacos 2-0 at this venue in midweek.
That result followed a dramatic last-minute 2-1 victory over Newcastle last week and took the Gunners to five matches unbeaten across all competitions. They have only suffered one loss this term, which came against Liverpool in August.
The hosts have played four matches at home across all competitions this season and have yet to taste defeat (W3 D1), while they also kept clean sheets in three of those games.
Arsenal have the best defensive record and lowest xGC in the Premier League this season!
Meanwhile, despite only having one full day in his new role before facing Everton, Nuno Espirito Santo managed to lead his side to a hard-fought point against the Toffees last week on Merseyside.
The new boss has a massive task on his hands to try and turn his side’s fortunes around after a disastrous start to the season under Graham Potter, in which they only earned three points in five games.
Notably, though, the Hammers' four points this season came from their last two away games (W1 D1), and they were able to shut out this opponent in their last two league visits to this venue.

Arsenal & West Ham Squad Analysis
After scoring the winner in the 96th minute against Newcastle, Gabriel Magalhaes was withdrawn after 75 minutes in midweek due to a knock. However, reports suggest it was a precautionary move and the Brazilian is in contention for this match.
Gabriel Martinelli has scored in his last two home games for the Gunners, including a last-gasp equaliser off the bench against Man City last month, and he will be hoping for a starting role here.
In terms of absentees for this match, the hosts will have to make do without Piero Hincapie (groin), Noni Madueke (knee), Kai Havertz (knee) and Gabriel Jesus (ACL).
Bukayo Saka will make his 200th Premier League appearance if he features this weekend!
Jarrod Bowen scored the all-important equalising goal for West Ham against Everton last week, and he will have fond memories of the Emirates, having netted the winner at this venue last season.
Nuno’s biggest selection conundrums this week will likely be choosing between Niclas Fullkrug and Callum Wilson up top, and whether to retain Soungoutou Magassa in midfield ahead of James Ward-Prowse.
Tomas Soucek will be serving the final of his three-match suspension this week, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is listed as day to day owing to a stomach issue.
