West Ham vs Arsenal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Gunners will fancy their chances against the Hammers.
We have an intriguing battle on our hands as West Ham United are set to lock horns with London rivals Arsenal at the London Stadium in Round 13 of the Premier League 2024-25 on Saturday aiming to continue their recent good run of form.
West Ham United have enjoyed a good run of form recently which have seen them climb to 14th position in the standings after accumulating 15 points from the starting 12 games of the season. Julen Lopetegui who was under a lot of pressure must be a relieved man for now after defeating Newcastle United in the previous game. It has been back-to-back games where the Hammers have managed to keep clean sheets.
Arsenal on the other hand haven’t been at their brilliant best this season. The Gunners have fallen further in the title race as they trail league leaders Liverpool to nine points. Mikel Arteta’s men are currently languishing in the fourth position after accumulating 22 points from 12 games. However, their recent run of form suggests it is a matter of time before they bring themselves back into contention in the league with the team above them facing tough games.

Players to Watch
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United)
Jarrod Bowen is turning into one of the most influential players in the Hammers squad with his importance growing more and more as games come thick and fast. The England international has three goals to his name while adding another three assists to his goal-contribution tally. However, Bowen brings much more to the side than goals as he also helps the team defensively covering a lot of ground to chase down opponents.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Bukayo Saka is having another marvelous season so far having registered 15 goal contributions from 17 appearances he has made this season. He is looking unstoppable at the moment with the winger brimming with confidence. His quick thinking with the ball at his feet coupled with his ability to beat defenders at ease using his pace and dribbling skills makes him the player to look out for in this game.
