Match Preview – 20:00 Kick-Off at the Emirates Stadium, London
West Ham’s defeat to Hull City on Saturday made it 1 win in 8 for Slaven Bilic – it’s a run that will cause panicky over the shoulder glances from those at West Ham. A 6 point gap between the Hammers and the relegation zone might seem a lot with 8 games left, but they will need to stop losing soon.
Arsenal restored some pride with their 2-2 draw at home to Man City on Sunday. Arsene Wenger is under immense pressure from Arsenal fans, the majority of whom want the long serving boss to retire. The result left Arsenal 7 points from 4th spot all but confirming that they will miss out on Champions League qualification for the first time under Wenger.
A hattrick from Alexis Sanchez helped Arsenal thump West Ham 5-1 in the reverse fixture between the sides back in December. West Ham have only kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League games, however they have scored in 9 of their last 10 games too. Arsenal are expected be without Laurent Koscielny for the game after the Frenchman limped off against City with an achilles injury.

Arsenal v West Ham Predictions
Arsenal lost Laurent Koscielny to injury on Sunday to add to the absence of Petr Cech, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey. The loss of their captain and best defensive header of the ball could cause real problems with Andy Carroll around. Luckily for Arsenal, West Ham are in terrible form. The Hammers have no chance of keeping a clean sheet and I simply cannot see them outscoring Arsenal on the day. Home win. Read our Arsenal v West Ham betting tips below.
Bet365 make Arsenal odds on to beat West Ham giving 2/5 for a home victory and West Ham odds of 11/2 to cast aside their poor form and win at the Emirates. Bet365 also give odds of 10/11 for an Arsenal win and both teams to score which looks a decent bet given both team’s defensive deficiencies. William Hill have odds of 13/10 for Theo Walcott to score anytime and the England striker’s confidence will be high after netting against City.
