Arsenal

The arrival of Mikel Arteta on the Arsenal coaching bridge has begun to bear fruit. The Gunners played excellently at the end of the last championship and they also show good results at the beginning of this season. The London club have won six of their last seven official matches.

Arsenal kicked off this season with a Super Cup win over reigning champion Liverpool. The main time of the match ended in a draw and the penalty shoot-outs were more precise with the Gunners. Arteta's team also looked confident in the opening round of the Premier League, beating Fulham in the away derby with a score of 3:0. Let's note the good play of Londoners in defense, which allowed the “summer residents” to deliver only two aimed strikes on their goal.

After the match against West Ham, Arsenal have a difficult calendar. Over the next five rounds the team will play against Liverpool, Leicester, both Manchester. These matches will show the Gunners' readiness to fight for high positions.

In general, Arsenal have always played successfully in their home arena. In 14 previous home games they suffered only one defeat.

Arreta's wards are approaching the match with West Ham with a number of personnel losses. Calum Chambers, Gabriel Martinelli, Pablo Mari, Shkodran Mustafi, David Luis will definitely not play due to injuries. Questionable for the game is the presence of Granit Jaka.

West Ham

For a long time, the Hammers were among the teams fighting to preserve their registration. The appearance on the coaching bridge of David Moyes helped to solve the main problem, where the “hammers” remained in the Premier League. However, as the first matches of this season showed, the Scotsman did not manage to improve the quality of the game, thus it is not surprising that bookmakers consider him as the main contender for the first retirement in the Premier League.

In the opening round of the championship, West Ham hosted Newcastle at home and deservedly lost with a score of 0:2, without showing anything intelligible in the attack. After that defeat, the League Cup victory over Charlton (3:0) helped to improve the mood.

On the road, the Hammers under the leadership of Moyes were unable to establish stability. In the last ten away matches, West Ham have won only one victory. The team plays especially weakly in defense. Only in one of these fights they did not miss.

The Hammers are approaching the upcoming fight without any personnel losses.
