West Ham vs Arsenal Score Prediction

This is such a huge opportunity for Arsenal. Not only do West Ham enter this game without a senior central defender to select from, they will also likely rest players such as Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Fornals ahead of their Europa League semi-final.

Opportunities like these can’t slip, as while West Ham remain a strong side with plenty of fire power, it’s been a long season for their small squad and their focus is now firmly centred elsewhere.

Arsenal won’t get far if they repeat their defensive performance against Manchester United. While they’ve won back-to-back games, they shipped two at Chelsea and somehow just let one in against the Red Devils.

At this stage of the season while it is only the results that matter, there is only so long you can ride your luck.

Confidence will be soaring across the team for Sunday’s game, one that is one of two standout fixtures left on the calendar along with the North London Derby. Right now Odegaard is purring again, Saka is flying and Mohamed Elneny is reborn. Add to that the possible return of Tomiyasu and this is a game Arsenal should have enough in.

Concerns at the back might not make it a smooth one, mind you.
