Arsenal vs West Ham United: Match preview, possible lineups, predictions and team news

Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, have been showing promising form this season. They're known for their exciting and attacking style of play, led by young talents like Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Gabriel Jesus. 

The team's recent performances have been solid, with a strong showing in the league. Arsenal will be looking to maintain their momentum and possibly secure their place at the top of the table at the halfway mark of the campaign.

David Moyes' West Ham, while having a tougher time on the road, are known for stepping up in big games. They have been on a decent run, with five wins in their last seven league games. 

The Hammers are expected to pose a significant challenge to Arsenal, especially considering their recent win against Manchester United.

For Arsenal, the absence of Kai Havertz due to suspension might lead to some adjustments in the lineup. Players like Jorginho and Leandro Trossard could play crucial roles. West Ham, on the other hand, hope to have Nayef Aguerd back from illness.

Historically, Arsenal has had the upper hand in this fixture with 72 wins, while West Ham has won 36 times, and there have been 41 draws. The last time West Ham won away at Arsenal was in August 2015.

Given Arsenal's strong form and West Ham's challenges on the road, predictions lean towards an Arsenal win. However, West Ham's ability to perform against big teams could make it a close contest.
