West Ham host Arsenal on Sunday in the somewhat enviable position of having beaten the Gunners twice already this season. The Hammers were 3-1 winners in the Carabao Cup in November and then in December surprised many with a fantastic 2-0 win on the road at the Emirates. However, since that win, David Moyes team have only managed to pick up three draws and they were beaten last weekend 3-0 by a solid Manchester United performance at Old Trafford. Despite that, it is a run of just one loss in their last seven games, or if you stretch back further it is two defeats in their last 12. West Ham are unbeaten in their last six home games, winning three and drawing three of those games. They have failed to score at home just twice in 11 home games this season.

Arsenal will be wary of what a threat West Ham can pose after the two defeats at their hands this season already, but Mikel Arteta's team will come into this game in great spirits after a massive 3-1 win over table-topping Liverpool last weekend. That result means the Gunners have beaten both Manchester City and Liverpool at home this season, as well as drawing with Liverpool at Anfield, leeping them right in contention at the top of the table. However, the Gunners away form, while good, is not as impressive as their home form and they have scored just 17 goals on the road (compared to 30 at home). The Gunners have lost two, drawn one and won one of their last four away games, although the win was in their last trip on the road to face Nottingham Forest. After beating Liverpool last weekend, the Gunners won't want to slip up here.
