A big clash is expected today evening as the Premier League serves up another tantalising London derby as West Ham United welcome Arsenal to the London Stadium.
As both teams come into this clash with contrasting fortunes, the stakes are high, with Arsenal aiming to close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the table and West Ham eager to solidify their upward momentum.
At a critical moment in the Premier League season, Arsenal are finally starting to build some form and will be confident they can make in three wins on the bounce in east London on today evening.
West Ham also made a winning return from the international break, beating Newcastle 2-1 on Monday night, but there is still work for Julen Lopetegui to do as he bids to prove to supporters that he is the man to fill David Moyes’ shoes.
West Ham have not had the best of times against the Gunners in the Premier League era.
Indeed they have lost more games overall (36) and at home (15) against them than any other opponent, winning just one of their last 16 in east London.
At least things probably cannot get much worse than last season, when former captain Declan Rice set the seal on a 6-0 win for Arsenal. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know:
